A law enforcement source in Washington, D.C. has told me today’s shooting suspect, who critically wounded two West Virginia National Guardsmen, used a revolver and shouted “Allahu ackbar” during the ambush.
The suspect’s name is Rahmanullah Lakanwal. He is originally from Afghanistan and he entered the United States in 2021.
I’m told while Lakanwal was shooting the two Guardsmen, a supervisor, who was checking on the lower enlisted and had just left the scene, ran behind cover. Lakanwal reportedly then used one of the Guardsmens’ firearms to continue shooting.
As the suspect was reloading, the Guardsman used a pocket knife to stab him. A different Guardsman ran to the scene and shot the suspect multiple times.
I have been told further information about the suspect but I am waiting on final confirmation.
This is a breaking news story. Check back for more updates.
My sincerest condolences to the two murdered guardsmen family and friends, may they rest in peace with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for there service
