National Guard member who survived D.C. attack ‘slowly healing,’ West Virginia’s governor says
Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, the National Guard member who survived last month’s deadly attack near the White House is “slowly healing,” West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Friday.
His colleague, Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, was killed in the shooting the day before Thanksgiving when a suspect opened fire on a Washington, D.C., street. The guard members had been deployed to the city as part of a Trump administration order to fight crime in the capital.
Morrisey said in an update on Wolfe’s status that his head wound “is slowly healing.” He cited the soldier’s parents for the information.
He said Wolfe, 24, may have two to three more weeks of acute care as he heals and recovers, the governor said, citing the family. He said Wolfe’s family has been “optimistic” about his health.
“He’s beginning to ‘look more like himself,” Morrisey said, quoting Wolfe’s parents.
Wolfe was initially said to be in critical condition, and President Donald Trump said hours after the violence that Wolfe was “in very bad shape.”
The suspect in the attack, Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, made a virtual court appearance Tuesday from a hospital bed.
Lakanwal, who was also shot during the Nov. 26 shooting, was charged with first-degree murder, assault with intent to kill while armed, possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
He pleaded not guilty to all counts.
A vigil for Wolfe was expected to take place Friday night at Musselman High School in Inwood, West Virginia, Wolfe’s alma mater, the governor said.
US officials have arrested a man suspected of planting pipe bombs at the headquarters of the Republican and Democratic parties in Washington, DC, the night before the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
