A chilling shooting incident near the White House on Wednesday left two National Guard troops critically wounded. The White House was subsequently placed on lockdown, and a suspect was detained after being shot. While authorities are yet to confirm the suspect's identity, new photos have emerged, allegedly showing a man being taken to the hospital. West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey initially reported that the two soldiers had passed away but later clarified that there were conflicting reports regarding their condition. He expressed his prayers for the service members, their families, and the entire Guard community. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to the suspect, calling him an 'animal' who would 'pay a very steep price' for the heinous crime. The shooting occurred near Farragut Square, a popular lunch spot just a few blocks away from the White House. National Guard troops have been stationed in Washington since August as part of a crackdown on immigration and crime in Democratic-led cities. Approximately 2,200 National Guard troops, including those from several states, were deployed in Washington at the time of the shooting. As the investigation unfolds, authorities are working to determine the motive behind the attack and the suspect's connection to the shooting.
