A National Guardsman injured in an ambush-style shooting near the White House on November 26 is slowly recovering. Andrew Wolfe, 24, suffered a critical head wound. West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey said, "his head wound is slowly healing and that he's beginning to 'look more like himself.'" Wolfe remains in acute care and is expected to stay there for two to three more weeks. The family is optimistic about his progress. Wolfe was shot alongside fellow Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, 20, who sadly died from her injuries. Governor Morrisey urged, "We continue to ask all West Virginians and Americans for their prayers!" He attended a vigil at Musselman High School, where Wolfe was once a student. During the vigil, a pastor read a message from Wolfe's parents expressing hope and gratitude for the worldwide support. Earlier, the governor noted Wolfe had responded with a thumbs-up to a nurse and was able to move his toes. The suspected shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national formerly in a CIA-backed counterterrorism unit, has been charged with first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill. Staff Sgt Wolfe was among 2,000 National Guard troops sent to Washington DC in August by President Donald Trump as part of a crackdown on immigration and crime in Democratic cities. Following the shootings, Trump called for an additional 500 guardsmen to be deployed in the capital. The Trump administration has used the shooting to justify stricter immigration rules, cancelling citizenship ceremonies for immigrants from 19 countries, including Afghanistan, part of a recent travel ban.
