Newly released details on the suspect in today’s Washington, DC, ambush against two National Guardsmen indicate a potential terrorist attack, and now the suspect’s nationality has been reported.
Initial reporting indicates the suspect is believed to be an Afghan national who used a handgun to execute the heinous attack.
Per NBC’s Tom Winter:
Two senior U.S. law enforcement officials say that the man they believe is the suspect in today’s National Guard shooting, used a handgun in the attack and has been initially identified as an Afghan national.
Earlier, Winters reported that the FBI will “initially investigate the shooting of two members of the National Guard in D.C. as a possible act of terrorism.”
The Gateway Pundit reported that the two members of the West Virginia National Guard, who were shot, were rumored to be killed. However, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey now said there are conflicting reports about the condition of the two guard members.
West Virginia “will provide additional updates once we receive more complete information,” Morrisey said.
