Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national, has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly shooting two National Guard members in Washington DC, resulting in the death of Sarah Beckstrom and critical injury to Andy Wolfe. On the same day, Mohammad Alokozay, another Afghan man, was charged with threatening to conduct a suicide bombing in a video posted online. Both men previously served at the same counterterrorism base in Kandahar, Afghanistan, though it is unclear if they ever interacted. Investigators are probing possible motives and connections, as both men migrated to the United States under a program for Afghans who aided American forces during the war. Community members have rallied in support of the victims, while authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attacks.
