Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has signed a memo authorizing National Guard troops deployed in Washington to carry weapons if their mission requires it.
The vice president and defense secretary met with National Guard troops at Union Station, while protesters booed at the two leaders and chanted “free D.C.”
The 20-year-old airman allegedly shot a man in a Cheyenne apartment after firing an AK-47 rifle through a wall, according to law enforcement officials.
