Two National Guard members are in critical condition after a “targeted attack” in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, according to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, leaving one suspect injured and the troops in critical condition.
The two National Guard members, who were part of West Virginia’s National Guard force, sustained critical wounds before they were transported to local hospitals, President Donald Trump said, calling the shooting suspect an “animal.”
Metropolitan Police Department official Jeffery Carroll said a lone gunman “ambushed” members of the National Guard just blocks from the White House and “came around the corner” before firing at them, with other National Guard members intervening to end the attack.
