DC National Guard shooting suspect is Afghan national who entered US under Biden withdrawal program: Report
The suspect in custody after the shooting of two National Guard troops near the White House is an Afghan national who entered into the U.S. only four years ago, according to a CBS News report.
A massive law enforcement response followed the shooting in Washington, D.C. Initially the troops were reported as having died from their injuries, but the FBI later said they were hospitalized in critical condition.
‘The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen, with both being critically wounded, and now in two separate hospitals, is also severely wounded, but regardless, will pay a very steep price.’
Multiple law enforcement sources said the suspect was identified as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, according to CBS. He also reportedly entered the U.S. on a Biden administration program called Operation Allies Welcome after the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Law enforcement sources told NBC News that he used a handgun in the attack.
Reporter Julio Rosas also confirmed the details.
A White House correspondent for NTD News said she and her cameraman witnessed the incident just before 2:15 p.m.
“National Guard shot near the White House. … I was in an Uber to work, with my cameraman, and heard multiple shots fired as we passed Farragut West,” Mari Otsu wrote on social media.
“A member of the National Guard fell while others rushed onto the scene,” she added, with a video included. “Area still on lockdown and Secret Service being deployed.”
President Donald Trump issued a statement about the incident from his Truth Social account.
“The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen, with both being critically wounded, and now in two separate hospitals, is also severely wounded, but regardless, will pay a very steep price,” he wrote. “God bless our Great National Guard, and all of our Military and Law Enforcement.”

Dept. of War Sec. Pete Hegseth said that 500 additional National Guard troops were going to be sent to D.C. in light of the shooting.
“This will only stiffen our resolve to ensure that we make Washington, D.C., safe and beautiful. The drop in crime has been historic. The increase in safety and security has been historic,” Hegseth said to reporters in the Dominican Republic.
“But if criminals want to conduct things like this, violence against America’s best, we will never back down,” he added. “President Trump will never back down. That’s why the American people elected him.”

MS NOW reporter gets obliterated online for unbelievable comment about shooting of National Guard troops
While law enforcement officials continue to investigate the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., at lease one reporter has already pounced to make disgraceful assumptions on the incident.
Ken Dilanian of MS NOW suggested that the shooter was animated by many of the grievances against the Trump administration’s policies that are popularized by the left.
‘You’re a heartless idiot and not a true journalist.’
“Of course, you know, there’s so much controversy happening in the United States right now with ICE, who are also wearing uniforms and wearing masks,” Dilanian said. “And so there’s … people walking around with uniforms in an American city. There are some Americans that might object to that. And so apparently this shooting has happened.”
Video of his comments were posted on social media, where they quickly went viral and he faced brutal criticism.
“Ken Dilanian will apologize for this. But here’s the thing: He won’t mean it,” Jon Podhoretz of Commentary magazine replied.
“This is bats**t crazy and you are an absolute disgrace. To say and post something like that shows a lack of well, anything that would be deemed good,” another detractor said.
“Time to look for Ken Dilanian’s misplaced soul and reunite them before he starts outlining how understandable it is to shoot National Guardsmen in the head because the left wants foreign voters flooding our streets and towns with need, crime and hatred,” another reply reads.
“This is disgusting,” another critic said.
“You’re a heartless idiot and not a true journalist. You probably jumped for joy at the news of these deaths and were all too happy to be the one talking about it, weren’t you? Tell the truth,” another response reads.

The shooting of the troops led to a lockdown at the White House and conflicting reports about the state of the victims. They were initially reported to have died, but Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Kash Patel later indicated that they were hospitalized in critical condition.
On Thursday, a federal judge ruled against the lawfulness of the troops surge in D.C. but gave the administration 21 days to appeal the order.

Former NFL quarterback explains what’s wrong with Lamar Jackson, Trevor Lawrence, and Jalen Hurts
Jason Whitlock, BlazeTV host of “Fearless,” and former Buccaneers quarterback Shaun King have put three high-profile quarterbacks on the operating table this year: Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, Jacksonville Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence, and Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen Hurts.
The prognosis from disgruntled fans isn’t good. Jackson fails to ignite a stagnant offense and is injury-prone; Lawrence has an embarrassing completion rate, especially considering his $275M contract; and Hurts plays scared in the pocket, underutilizing his star receivers downfield.
King lays bare what’s really going on with each player.
Lamar Jackson
Despite the rumors that Jackson is on a permanent decline, King says he’s likely just struggling with hesitancy after a string of injuries.
Right now, it looks like he’s “unwilling to use his athleticism, which makes me think that he’s trying to guard against further injuring whatever his ailment is,” he tells Jason.
But given the superstar’s “track record of success” — two MVP awards, two 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and the best dual-threat stats in NFL history — we need to “give him the benefit of the doubt.”
“If this persists into next year, I think we can circle back around to this topic,” King concludes.
Trevor Lawrence
King is far less forgiving of the Jaguars’ quarterback.
“Has never been held accountable for his deficiencies. Incubated at Clemson. Not exposed to any of the criticism or ridicule. … Got the big contract way too early,” he condemns, accusing Lawrence of being a coach killer.
“He’s a very frenetically wired player, and I don’t think you can play that position if you can’t be calm when it’s chaotic,” he says.
King believes that Lawrence, who he argues is over-reliant on his raw talent, has never been properly coached. “Nobody’s held him accountable for some of the fundamental flaws he has, some of the bad decisions he makes — like, really holding his feet to the fire. … He’s never been faced with the threat of being benched for his deficiencies.”
If Lawrence gets a coach willing to “get after him,” we may yet see the QB rise to true stardom.
Jalen Hurts
“I think [Hurts] might be the most underappreciated player in the National Football League,” King says.
Unlike legends like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady — who were able to master their system under the same coaches for over a decade — Hurts has never had that kind of stability.
“Jalen Hurts has changed coordinators the last four years,” meaning he’s “[spent] every off season learning a new system as opposed to focusing on fixing some of [his] deficiencies,” King explains.
And despite this lack of continuity, he’s still one of the league’s most successful and celebrated quarterbacks.
“I don’t think he gets enough credit,” King says. “Is he a finished product? Absolutely no. I would love to see what Jalen Hurts could do from a development standpoint if Philly could finally give him continuity.”
