A targeted attack near the White House in Washington D.C. left two National Guard members critically injured on November 26. The suspect, now in custody, is believed to have acted alone in the ambush-style shooting. According to authorities, the shooter approached one of the Guardsmen from close range and struck him in the head, while the other managed to seek shelter before being shot. Metropolitan Police Department officials described the incident as an 'ambush.' In a press conference, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and FBI Director Kash Patel addressed the incident, with the FBI director assuring a thorough investigation and Mayor Bowser providing insight into the potential motive. President Donald Trump reacted to the shooting, stating that there would be a 'very steep price to pay' for the perpetrator, who was severely wounded during the incident. Following the shooting, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that an additional 500 National Guard members would be deployed to D.C. at the President's request. The incident marks a second deployment of National Guard members to the city, following President Trump's August deployment to address crime and homelessness concerns in Washington D.C.
