US President Donald Trump has warned that the suspect shot two National Guard troops in Washington DC 'will pay a very steep price'. The soldiers were critically wounded in the incident, which occurred just two blocks away from the White House. According to officials, the suspect was also severely wounded and taken into custody shortly after the shooting. Trump expressed his support for the National Guard and law enforcement, saying 'God bless our Great National Guard, and all of our Military and Law Enforcement'. There were conflicting reports about the condition of the troops, with West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey initially stating that they had died due to their injuries before retracting his statement. The governor later said that the troops were receiving medical treatment and that there were conflicting reports about their condition. Trump was not present in Washington DC at the time of the shooting, which occurred on Wednesday. The incident happened near Farragut Square, a busy outdoor area near the White House. Three people were injured in the shooting, all of whom were taken to hospital for urgent treatment.
