Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, has been charged in connection with the fatal shooting of two National Guard members near the White House. Authorities allege that Lakanwal approached the guardsmen while armed and opened fire, resulting in the death of Sarah Beckstrom and leaving Andrew Wolfe seriously injured. Surveillance footage and charging documents detail the incident, including Lakanwal's actions and statements during the attack. Lakanwal, who arrived in the United States in 2021 after serving in the Afghan army, pleaded not guilty and is being held without bond. The motive for the shooting remains unclear, and officials have described the case as particularly strong due to the evidence presented.
