A Guardsman's Fight for Life After Washington Shooting

A young soldier, Andrew Wolfe, is holding on tight to life after a shocking attack near the White House. He showed a thumbs-up sign and wiggled his toes when medical staff checked on him. This small sign of hope comes after a terrible event that left another Guardsman, Sarah Beckstrom, dead. The two were part of a group sent to Washington to help with crime. They were shot by a man named Rahmanullah Lakanwal. He moved to the U. S. from Afghanistan a few years ago. Lakanwal was hurt too during the attack. He is now facing serious charges. The attack has sparked a lot of talk. Some people say the Guardsmen were sent to Washington for political reasons. But the governor of West Virginia says the soldiers volunteered for the job. He believes in their mission. The case has also brought up questions about how people from other countries are allowed into the U. S. Lakanwal came here under a special program for Afghans who helped the U. S. during the war. Some people are now saying the U. S. should stop taking in people from certain countries. The investigation is still going on. They are trying to find out why Lakanwal did this. Meanwhile, Andrew Wolfe is still fighting for his life. People are praying for him and hoping he gets better soon.
