Jeffery Carroll, Executive Assistant Chief of the Metropolitan Police provided updates after two West Virginia National Guard members were shot Wednesday just blocks from the White House.

West Virginia’s governor initially said the troops had died, but later walked back the statement to say his office was “receiving conflicting reports” about their condition. The governor’s office did not immediately respond to questions about the attack and the condition of the troops.

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser also said the Guard members were in critical condition at a hospital. ”This is a targeted shooting,” Bowser said.

A suspect, now in custody, was also shot and had wounds that were not believed to be life-threatening, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
