U.S National Guard Shooting Suspect Charged With Murder
Prosecutors have officially filed murder charges against the suspected shooter accused of killing a National Guard soldier as well injuring another in Washington DC last Wednesday.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he fired shots and reloaded after a guard member shot and wounded him.
Lakanwal, who came to the U.S from Afghanistan in 2021 has pleaded not guilty during a virtual court appearance from his hospital bed.
Charges against him included first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill.
The President Donald Trump administration has paused all asylum decisions following the shooting and has ordered a review of Afghan refugees in the United States.
National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom 20 years died from injuries she sustained while the other officer Andrew Wolfe 24 years who was critically injured has since been in hospital.
