"Allahu Akbar": D.C. National Guard Shooter Identified As Afghan National Who Entered U.S. During Biden Years
Watch Live:
Update (2020ET):
CBS News reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez confirms that the suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal. Law-enforcement officials told Galvez that Lakanwal entered the U.S. in 2021 during the Biden-Harris regime.
"The suspect reportedly shouted, Allahu akbar!" reporter Julio Rosas wrote on X.
Fox News sources report the shooter overstayed his visa and was in the country illegally.
Earlier, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser described the attack on the two National Guard members as "targeted." West Virginia's governor initially stated that both Guardsmen had died, but later clarified that there is conflicting information about their conditions.
Lakanwal was arrested shortly after the attack, and the FBI is now investigating it as a possible act of terrorism.
The attack follows Democrats' escalation of hostile rhetoric against federal authorities for deporting illegal aliens and securing metro areas. Such rhetoric has already fueled assaults on ICE and Border Patrol agents.
Given that the shooter is an Afghan national and the incident is being examined as a potential terrorism case, attention is shifting back to a report from earlier this year in which former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams warned on the Shawn Ryan Show about "1,000-plus Al-Qaeda–trained fighters within U.S. borders."
Shortly after the attack, President Trump requested an additional 500 National Guard troops for the Washington, D.C., area. This move suggests the deployment may involve more than routine efforts to clean up homeless encampments or deter street crime; the mere fact that the military is being positioned on the ground points to a broader security threat - one our government is not fully explaining, but one that we suggest below...
As Sarah Adams recently warned, the next Al-Qaeda attack on the homeland is only a matter of time:
"Well, Al-Qaeda says they trained and deployed a thousand for this attack. First off, I think there are more than a thousand Al-Qaeda members in the United States, but for the Homeland Attack, that number is based on what Al-Qaeda is saying, so they could exaggerate it; however, they did have about 1,400 in the Hamas attack, so the number is not off from what they did in the first round of attacks."
And just days ago...
The optics here are not great for the Democratic Party's open-border policies under the Biden-Harris regime, which facilitated a mass migration invasion into the US. The posturing of military forces on streets in DC underscores the severity of the threat - and it's now clear this was never just about clearing homeless encampments or removing drug addicts from street corners.
Politically, the incident gives Trump even more cover to accelerate his planned deportation campaign. It will also continue much-needed scrutiny on Islamists and Islamist Marxists who seek to destroy the nation from within.

Democrats are terrified - the news cycle is about to turn on them. Will they suddenly be interested in the Epstein files again?

Update: The West Virginia governor has issued a strange backtrack after minutes prior to announcing the guard members who were shot were "confirmed dead". He now cites "conflicting reports" of their condition. A shooter is in custody. Hopefully, they have survived.

AP News reports that two National Guard soldiers were shot point-blank just outside the White House perimeter at 17th & H NW.
President Trump has responded, saying both soldiers have been critically wounded by the "animal that shot the two National Guardsmen" and said the attacker "will pay a very steep price." The president's words at this point imply a lone shooter in custody.
The conditions of the soldiers are not yet known.
Dramatic image from the scene:
"The White House is aware and actively monitoring this tragic situation. The President has been briefed," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told NewsNation's Libbey Dean.
The suspect is reportedly in custody, according to an X post by DC Police.
This incident is likely to further inflame Trump's anger over lawlessness in Democrat-run cities. Expect a Truth Social post shortly.
"Just a few days ago, six Democrats claimed President Trump was issuing "unlawful" orders to the military and that troops must resist," Benny Johnson noted on X.

ABC News reports:
Two uniformed military personnel, appearing to be National Guardsmen, have been shot in downtown Washington just blocks from the White House, according to two sources familiar with the ongoing situation.
Mike Carter, White House Correspondent for NEWSMAX, wrote on X that "Secret Service tells me 2 National Guard members have just been shot near the White House."
