PALM BEACH, Florida (Reuters) -Sarah Beckstrom, one of the two National Guard members shot in Washington on Wednesday, has died, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday.

"Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, one of the guardsmen that we're talking about, highly respected, young, magnificent person ... She's just passed away. She's no longer with us," Trump said in his first live remarks since the shooting.
