A 29-year-old Afghan national, identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, has been accused of shooting two National Guard troops near the White House on Wednesday. According to sources, Lakanwal entered the US in 2021 and was identified through fingerprint matching. The victims, who were on patrol, suffered critical head injuries and are currently receiving medical attention. The suspect was also injured in the shooting and taken to the hospital. Law enforcement officials have confirmed that the FBI will investigate the incident as a possible act of terrorism, although a motive has not been determined. Screenshots of an alleged social media account belonging to Lakanwal have surfaced online, but the authenticity of these posts is yet to be verified. The incident has sparked a strong reaction from authorities, with President Donald Trump condemning the attack and vowing that the perpetrator will 'pay a very steep price.' Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has also condemned the 'targeted shooting,' while Senator Chuck Schumer expressed his concern for the victims and their families. The incident has raised questions about security in the nation's capital and the effectiveness of measures in place to prevent such attacks.
