"The West Virginia national guard soldier who was wounded in the 26 November shooting that killed a colleague of his in Washington DC is slowly healing, according to West Virginia's governor. Andrew Wolfe, 24, was shot alongside fellow West Virginia national guard soldier Sarah Beckstrom, 20, while they patrolled the US capital as part of the Trump administration's push to deploy military members on to the city's streets. Beckstrom died of her injuries the day after she was shot while Wolfe was hospitalized"
"On Friday, West Virginia's governor, Patrick Morrisey who deployed the state's national guard to Washington DC said in a post on his website that Wolfe had been recovering, if slowly, from being shot in the head. His parents report that his head wound is slowly healing and that he's beginning to look more like himself', the governor's statement said of Wolfe. Overall, the family expects that Andy will be in acute care for another 2-3 weeks but have been optimistic about his progress."
"The suspect in the deadly double shooting, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was formally charged on Tuesday for a number of crimes, including first-degree murder. Lakanwal is from Afghanistan and had entered the US in 2021 after the US military's withdrawal from the country as the Taliban took power there again. Lakanwal worked with the CIA, within an Afghan counter-terrorism group called the Zero Unit. The unit was involved in secretive and dangerous missions to capture or assassinate suspected terrorists."
