"Our hearts go out and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of a beautiful 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, who answered the call to serve her nation, said Pirro. And she volunteered, and she ended up being shot, ambush style, on the cold streets of Washington D.C. by an individual who will now be charged with murder in the first degree."
"Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the man accused of shooting two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. this week, is now facing first-degree murder charges, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced on Friday. Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, allegedly shot two National Guard members near the Farragut West Metro Station, killing Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and wounding Andrew Wolfe, 24, who remains hospitalized in critical condition. Lakanwal was also shot in the aftermath and transported to a local hospital."
Rahmanullah Lakanwal faces first-degree murder charges after allegedly shooting two National Guard members near the Farragut West Metro Station in Washington, D.C. The shooting killed 20-year-old National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounded 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe, who remains hospitalized. Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, was also shot during the aftermath and taken to a local hospital. Initial charges included three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence; those charges were upgraded to include first-degree murder after Beckstrom's death. Investigators are examining how Lakanwal entered the United States, noting he arrived in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome and was approved for asylum in April by President Donald Trump's administration.
