Multiple people including at least two National Guard members were shot in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, leaving the troops in critical condition and the suspect injured.

CNN noted “several people” were shot Wednesday in Washington, with AP reporting a suspect in custody was also shot and has injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

President Donald Trump said both National Guard troops were “critically wounded” and transported to separate hospitals, calling the shooting suspect an “animal.”
