A quiet Wednesday afternoon in the nation's capital was shattered when a gunman launched a calculated ambush against uniformed soldiers, turning a bustling commercial district into a scene of bloodshed. The vicious attack has sent shockwaves through the military community and prompted immediate action from the highest levels of government.
Law enforcement officials have now identified the assailant responsible for the shooting of two National Guard troops near the White House. The suspect is Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national. According to law enforcement sources, Lakanwal entered the US during the chaotic 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.
