In a shocking turn, a wealthy US couple known as the Creightons are now under fire. Why? Because Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan refugee they welcomed into their home, is said to have shot two National Guard members. This is the same family that once opened their hearts and doors to Lakanwal and his family, even raising money for them. The Creightons called them “genuine and kind.” But the story isn’t as simple as it seems. According to a childhood friend of Lakanwal, he battled serious mental health problems linked to his time back in Afghanistan. This may help explain the tragic incident that has left the community stunned. The situation raises many questions about the challenges refugees face, especially when protective mental health care is missing. It’s a twist no one expected from such a hopeful beginning.
