Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday that the suspect in the National Guardsmen shooting in Washington, D.C. could receive the death penalty.

Two National Guardsmen were critically injured after a suspect, identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, opened fire on them on Wednesday. Bondi said the suspect’s charges will be based on the victims’ prognosis, adding that the guardsmen volunteered to work on Thanksgiving so others could enjoy the holiday.
