Mourners gathered in Webster Springs, West Virginia on Friday for a vigil in honor of National Guard member Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, one of two National Guard members who were shot in Washington on Wednesday.

West Virginia Senator Robbie Morris spoke at the event.

U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, graduated with honors from Webster County High School in 2023 and joined the National Guard several weeks later. Beckstrom served with distinction as a military police officer with the 863rd Military Police Company, the West Virginia National Guard said in a statement.

After high school, Beckstrom ended up in Summersville, where she was a community engagement specialist with a clinic that provides services for teens and young adults with mental illnesses, substance abuse problems or developmental disabilities, Summersville Mayor Robert Shafer said in a statement on Facebook.
