Two members of the West Virginia National Guard have died after being shot in Washington, D.C., officials confirmed Wednesday.

West Virgina Governor Patrick Morrisey said Wednesday afternoon both victims died from their injuries following the shooting.

"These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country. We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues," Morrisey wrote.

The scene was secured and a single suspect was in custody, police said.

Police said the shooting occurred in the area of 17th and I Street in Washington, D.C. They asked those nearby to avoid the area.

According to the Associated Press, the suspect had sustained gunshot injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.

The suspect and both victims were transported to the hospital for treatment.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump had been briefed about the incident.

President Trump was at his golf course in Palm Beach, Florida, on Wednesday at the time of the shooting.

In a message on social media, the president said the "animal" who carried out the shooting would "pay a very steep price."

"God bless our Great National Guard, and all of our Military and Law Enforcement. These are truly Great People. I, as President of the United States, and everyone associated with the Office of the Presidency, am with you!" the president wrote.

"My heart breaks for the victims of this horrific shooting in Washington DC near the White House," Sen. Chuck Schumer wrote on social media. "I am closely monitoring the situation and am praying for the wounded National Guardsmen and their families."

How do we know what kind of nut this was?

You also assumed they were dead.

Did you know all of these things before or after the guardsmen were killed?

Supposedly they were both head shots, which is never a good sign even in critical condition it just just could mean they’re still alive but no brain function. Let’s pray it’s a good prognosis.

Actually, it was a right wing Trump supporter. He actually yelled "heil trump" right before shooting. Then he kicked a puppy and ran off.


I know this because a guy with a trump bumper sticker ran a red light in my neighborhood. Pretty clear this is just how right wingers are

They're not dead.

The shooter was an Afghan national, here as a refugee from the Taliban after we pulled out.

Even after you knew they weren't dead, you still killed them off, bb.

Eyes open, bro!

Biden let him in along with 8000 other Afghans.


Any of those 8000 could be radical Islamic terrorists sleepers, just waiting for their activation orders.


This is all Biden's fault, as usual, as always.


Obama, Biden and Democrats have done so much damage to the USA in the past 16 years, it will take decades to fix.

Now, Barney Google, err, FBI ghoul Kash Patel has revealed that the shooter had ties to US Forces in Afghanistan.

I suppose this is proof that he’s a left wing nut.

The only proof here is that MAGAs promote misinformation and lies.
The information is all over the news but it doesn't fit your leftwing narrative so in your eyes none of the verifiable information that is all over the news regesters with you...simple enough.

At this time we don’t know the shooter’s motives. But up until this shooting he was considered an ally deserving of asylum for him and his family because of his work with our forces in Afghanistan.

But soldiers going rogue happens to American soldiers as well as foreign soldiers as well.

Here is an article from the AP describing 11 different shootings involving American military personnel since 2009.

I think the better question should be was the National Guard deployment really necessary or was it just a publicity campaign by the Trump Administration?

In my opinion by deploying National Guardsmen for political rather than real security or disaster relief reasons is akin to placing these soldiers in harm’s way for no valid reason at all. Hell soldiers could and possibly have been involved in car accidents, food poisoning, sickness, or any other of a variety of things that could be related to injury or death to those being deployed.

Being deployed to pick up Trash in DC or to parade around armed in your uniform just to burnish the narrative of a politician doesn’t seem to be a good reason to join the Guard to me.

No question about it. Those poor kids from WV should never have been deployed to DC, or any other US city.

Their blood is on Hegseth’s and Twitler’s tiny hands.
