Twenty-year-old National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom has died after she and fellow guardsman Andrew Wolfe, 24, were shot at close range near Farragut Square in downtown Washington DC.
President Donald Trump confirmed Beckstrom’s death during a Thanksgiving call with service members and later spoke with her family.
Wolfe remains in critical condition.
The suspected gunman, 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was arrested at the scene after being shot by responding officers.
Beckstrom, a West Virginia soldier who enlisted in 2023 and volunteered for holiday duty, was among more than 2,000 National Guard troops deployed to the capital amid heightened crime concerns.
The shooting’s proximity to the White House prompted an immediate response from multiple law enforcement agencies.
A hero has been taken from us. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom personified everything one could pray for in a daughter, a soldier, and an American citizen. She offered to give her fellow Guardsmen relief to enjoy Thanksgiving. Her generosity cost her life. Heartbreaking. 💔 RIP. pic.twitter.com/YmDdLUCo4u
