One of the two National Guard troops shot by in Washington, D.C., Wednesday has been named as Andrew Wolfe of West Virginia, with his former high school reporting on Facebook that he is undergoing surgery and remains in a criticial condition.

The two Guardsmen were critically wounded in a shooting outside of a metro station in downtown Washington close to the White House on the eve of Thanksgiving in what officials described as a targeted ambush.

Overnight, President Donald Trump condemned the attack as a “act of terror” and a “crime against humanity” in a televised address from Mar-a-Lago.

The suspect has since been identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the country in September 2021 and was granted asylum by the Trump administration in April, according to CNN.

Trump has nevertheless blamed his predecessor Joe Biden for allowing Lakanwal entry under Operation Allies Welcome following the American military’s withdrawal from his homeland.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has since announced that it will stop processing all immigration requests from Afghans “indefinitely” and “effective immediately.”

Who is suspected shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal?

11:00 , Joe Sommerlad

The Department of Homeland Security has taken an Afghan national into custody over yesterday’s shooting, with the suspect since identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old who has been living in Washington state since 2021 and had no known criminal history prior to yesterday’s incident.

He is understood to have entered the U.S. under Operation Allies Welcome, a Biden-era program to resettle thousands of Afghans who assisted the U.S. during the war in Afghanistan and feared reprisals from Taliban forces once they retook control of their homeland after the American withdrawal four years ago.

However, as we saw earlier, CNN is reporting that Lakanwal submitted a new asylum application in December 2024 that was granted by the Trump administration in April this year.

NBC News has meanwhile reported that he served in the Afghan army for 10 years, served alongside U.S. Special Forces and was stationed in Kandahar for part of that time.

The shooter appears to have acted alone, officials have said, and the FBI’s joint terrorism task force is currently investigating what drove him to open fire in what officials called an “ambush” attack on Thanksgiving eve.

Here’s Rachel Dobkin and Alex Croft with everything we know about Wednesday’s events.

Suspect’s asylum application was granted by Trump administration in April, CNN reports

09:20 , Joe Sommerlad

While Trump and Vice President JD Vance have been quick to blame Biden for allowing suspect Rahmanullah Lakanwal to come to America under Operation Allies Welcome following the U.S military’s withdrawal from his homeland, his asylum application was actually approved by the Trump administration in April this year, according to CNN.

That important detail is reportedly going unmentioned on Fox News, according to this avid viewer of the conservative cable news channel.

Donald Trump rages about shooting as ‘crime against humanity’

09:00 , Joe Sommerlad

The president was not at the White House yesterday as he had already returned home to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, for Thanksgiving.

He reacted angrily to the attack, however, posting this message on Truth Social in response:

“The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen, with both being critically wounded, and now in two separate hospitals, is also severely wounded, but regardless, will pay a very steep price. God bless our Great National Guard, and all of our Military and Law Enforcement. These are truly Great People. I, as President of the United States, and everyone associated with the Office of the Presidency, am with you!”

The president subsequently delivered a televised statement from his home at 9.15pm in which he called the incident “an act of terror” and a “crime against humanity” and blamed the suspect’s presence in the country in his predecessor Joe Biden, adding that all Afghan nationals’ asylum claims would now be placed under immediate review:

Trump calls for reinvestigation of Afghan refugees

08:00 , Alisha Rahaman Sarkar

President Donald Trump called for the reinvestigation of all Afghan refugees who entered under the Biden administration after the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington D.C.

In a video message released on social media on Wednesday night, Trump said: "If they can't love our country, we don't want them."

He called the shooting a "heinous assault" and "a crime against our entire nation" and said it proves that lax migration policies are "the single greatest national security threat facing our nation".

"No country can tolerate such a risk to our very survival," he said.

Trump described Afghanistan as "a hellhole on earth" and he said his administration would review everyone who entered from the country under President Joe Biden, a measure his administration had already been planning before the incident.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the Afghan national who allegedly opened fire on two National Guardsmen near the White House, reportedly served with the U.S. Special Forces.

Lakanwal, 29, served in the Afghan army for 10 years alongside U.S. Special Forces troops and was stationed in Kandahar for part of that time, NBC News reported, citing an interview with an unnamed relative of the suspect.

Investigators led by the FBI's joint terrorism task force sought clues on Thursday to what drove him to open fire on two soldiers in what officials called an "ambush" attack on Thanksgiving eve.

Who is suspected shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal?

06:40 , Alisha Rahaman Sarkar

The Department of Homeland Security has taken an Afghan national into custody for allegedly shooting at two National Guardsmen near the White House on Wednesday.

The suspect has been identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who resided in Washington state, and had no known criminal history.

Lakanwal entered the U.S. in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, a Biden-era program to resettle thousands of Afghans who assisted the U.S. during the Afghanistan war and feared reprisals from Taliban forces who seized control of their homeland after the U.S. withdrawal.

Following the shooting, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency announced an immediate and indefinite halt to the "processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals" pending a review of security and vetting protocols.

The shooter appeared to have acted alone, officials said.

Additional National Guard troops deployed to D.C.

06:15 , Alisha Rahaman Sarkar

President Donald Trump has directed the deployment of 500 additional National Guard troops to Washington D.C. following the shooting of two Guardsmen near the White House.

The additional troops will join about 2,200 already in the city as part of the President's contentious immigration and crime crackdown targeting Democratic-led cities.

The Guardsmen were shot and critically wounded Wednesday in downtown Washington in what officials described as a targeted ambush.

The two soldiers, members of the West Virginia National Guard, were part of a "high-visibility patrol" around 2.15p.m. E.T. near the corner of 17th and I streets, a few blocks from the White House.

The suspect came around a corner and "ambushed" them, Metropolitan Police Assistant Chief Jeff Carroll said at a press briefing.

After an exchange of gunfire, other National Guard troops subdued the shooter, he said. The two wounded soldiers were in critical condition at local hospitals, FBI Director Kash Patel said.

"This is a targeted shooting," Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said at the briefing. The shooter appeared to have acted alone, officials said.

Two National Guardsmen, who were shot in Washington, D.C, remain in a critical condition in the hospital.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth described the injured Guardsmen as individuals who serve out of commitment to the country."

Heroes willing to serve in Washington, DC, serve for people they don't know, and they've never met, because they love their country and their capital and their community," he said.

"They were willing to do dangerous things; others were not, because they love their fellow Americans."

05:06 , Alisha Rahaman Sarkar

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said late Wednesday it has stopped processing all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals indefinitely, after two National Guard soldiers were shot and critically wounded in Washington.

President Donald Trump said that the shooting near the White House was "an act of terror," saying the suspect came from Afghanistan in 2021.

The move follows Trump's call for his government to re-examine Afghan immigrants who entered the United States when Joe Biden was President.

"The protection and safety of our homeland and of the American people remains our singular focus and mission," the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said in a post on X.

04:52 , Mike Bedigan

The D.C commander of the Joint Task Force has sent his “thoughts and prayers” to the two national guard troops who were shot Wednesday.

The task force is the National Guard office responsible for organizing the guard mission to the U.S. Capitol.

“On behalf of myself, and the entire Task Force, our thoughts and prayers are with the National Guardsmen and National Guard families who are going into a Thanksgiving Holiday with a burden that I wouldn’t wish on anyone,” US Army Col. Larry Doane said in a statement on X.

“These Guardsmen came to the District from West Virginia to make their nation’s capital, safe and beautiful. They’re heroes.”

Doane also praised the law enforcement officials who “ran towards danger” and “subdued the suspected shooter.”

“I’d like to highlight the level of training, focus, and wherewithal it takes to see two of your own shot and have the presence of mind to subdue the suspect with no further incident,” he added.

The White House press pool, a group of journalists that travels with Donald Trump and reports on his movements, were not told about his impromptu remarks on the D.C. shooter.

A pool reporter Wednesday said that they were not advised about the inflammatory address that were streamed on the White House YouTube site “neither before, nor after.”

“No members of the pool were present during their broadcast or taping. That was not the pool camera used,” the reporter noted.

“[Trump’s] government is going to accelerate efforts to review every person added to this country over the last four years, all 20 million,” Miller told Fox News.

“Obviously, if you're an illegal you're out automatically, but everybody else who was brought here, refugee, asylum status, whatever status, as he said, if you're not someone who loves this country, if you are not adding benefit to this country we're going to send you out.”

In his remarks Wednesday night Donald Trump said the Homeland Security Department is “confident” that the suspect was from Afghanistan, which the president described as “a hellhole on Earth.”

“He was flown in by the Biden administration in September 2021 for those infamous flights that everybody was talking about. Nobody knew who was coming in,” Trump said.

The president was seemingly referring to Operation Allies Welcome. In August 2021, then-President Joe Biden directed the Homeland Security Department to lead efforts in support of the operation, which worked to help resettle vulnerable Afghans in the U.S.

A relative of Rahmanullah Lakanwal told NBC News that he had come to America after serving in the Afghan Army for 10 years.

Afghan advocacy group condemns shooting in DC

03:40 , Mike Bedigan

Advocacy group AfghanEvac has condemned the attack in Washington D.C. but warned that the incident should not be used to “isolate or harm” Afghans who have resettled in the U.S.

“We reject and condemn anyone who uses, or seeks to use, violence, and we stand with every American who is horrified and saddened by this crime,” said Shawn VanDiver, president of the San Diego-based group.

In a statement shared online he said that the perpetrator should face “full accountability and prosecution under the law” and that “this individual’s isolated and violent act should not be used as an excuse to define or diminish an entire community.”

“Those who would twist this moment to attack Afghan families aren’t seeking safety or justice — they’re exploiting division and endangering all of us,” he said.

VanDiver added Afghan immigrants and wartime allies who resettle in the U.S. undergo extensive security vetting.

The Trump administration has already imposed sweeping refugee restrictions.

The administration blocked thousands of Afghan refugees from entering the country despite extensive vetting, and new restrictions on travel, legal protections and refugee admissions effectively block any new Afghans from entering while priming resettled Afghans for removal.

Shortly after entering office, the administration abruptly canceled previously arranged refugee flights, stranding Afghans and others.

Then in May, the administration also moved to cancel Temporary Protected Status for more than 11,000 Afghans who fled the country following the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.
