WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom has died from wounds in DC shooting.

Beckstrom was one of two guardsmen shot on Wednesday near the White House while patrolling under orders from the Trump administration. During a press conference on Thursday, US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro, said both Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe were in critical condition.

At 6:30 p.m., Trump announced Beckstrom's death during a press conference.

On Wednesday, police say, Rahmanullah Lakanwal came around the corner where the two guardsmen were patrolling the area near a metro station and opened fire around 2:15 p.m.

Lakanwal was also shot, but it is unclear who shot them. He didn't get far before being apprehended by other guardsmen patrolling the area.
