Two National Guard members were shot outside the White House and remain in critical condition after police arrested and wounded a suspect identified as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, whom relatives say served alongside US troops in Afghanistan. Law enforcement is investigating the shooting as a potential act of terrorism. The Trump administration ordered an additional 500 National Guard troops to Washington, adding to 2,200 already deployed as part of an asserted crackdown on crime. City crime had fallen to record lows before the initial deployment, and the president inaccurately claimed the city had no homicides since the surge. Local officials criticized the militarized response as inappropriate and likely to inflame tensions.
