Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died, and U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains hospitalized after Wednesday afternoon’s shooting. Trump announced that Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, had died, while Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, was “fighting for his life.” Social media video showed first responders performing CPR on one of the service members and treating the other on a sidewalk covered in broken glass. The suspect has been identified by law enforcement as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who had been living in Washington state.

A federal judge is ordering the Trump administration to end its monthslong deployment of National Guard troops to help police the nation’s capital.
