🔗 Share this article National Guardsman Healing Following Sustaining Gunshot Wounds in the Nation's Capital Personnel of the National Guard monitoring a subway stop in the District of Columbia. A member of the Air National Guard is showing improvement after he was critically injured in an targeted attack last month in the US capital. The family of the 24-year-old soldier, twenty-four, report "his head wound is gradually improving and that he's starting to 'look more like himself,'" stated the state's chief executive Patrick Morrisey. The family expects the Air Force staff sergeant to be in intensive treatment for the coming fortnight, and they feel optimistic about his progress, according to the official's statement. The serviceman was one of a pair of state guardsmen injured by gunfire when a gunman opened fire not far from the White House on November 26th. His fellow guardsmember, twenty-year-old his counterpart, succumbed to her wounds. "We continue to ask all state residents and the nation's citizens for their thoughts and prayers!" the governor said. The governor attended a vigil on last Friday night for the injured soldier at Musselman High School in Inwood, West Virginia, where the guardsman was once a pupil. A pastor at the event shared a statement from the soldier's parents, his family. "We know that there is a difficult journey to go," they expressed, as reported by regional media outlets. "But our belief keeps us optimistic. We remain grateful for the well-wishes and the encouragement from people all over the world." Staff Sgt Andrew Wolfe. Previously, the state official said the serviceman had responded to a nurse with a positive gesture and was capable of move his toes. Police have charged the alleged gunman, an individual from Afghanistan named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, with first-degree murder and attempted murder. Before coming to the United States in 2021, he was once a member of a special forces unit in a CIA-backed unit that worked with US forces in Afghanistan. Staff Sgt Wolfe was one of two thousand militia personnel whom President Donald Trump dispatched to the Washington DC in August as part of his policy initiative in urban centers. Following the shooting, Trump said he desired an additional five hundred National Guard troops deployed to the nation's capital. The former presidential office has also referenced the shooting as a justification for further restrictive policies. They have halted naturalization proceedings for immigrants from 19 countries that were part of a entry restriction announced over the recent season, among them the suspect's home country.
