🔗 Share this article National Guardsman Healing Following Sustaining Gunshot Wounds in the Nation's Capital Members of the state militia monitoring a metro station in the District of Columbia. A member of the Air National Guard is showing improvement after he was gravely wounded in an ambush-style shooting last month in Washington DC. The family of the 24-year-old soldier, twenty-four, say "the injury to his head is gradually improving and that he's beginning to 'regain his familiar appearance,'" stated the state's chief executive the governor. The family expects the Air Force staff sergeant to be in acute care for the next two to three weeks, and they feel optimistic about his recovery, said the governor. The serviceman was one of a pair of state guardsmen injured by gunfire when a shooter opened fire in proximity to the presidential residence on November 26th. His colleague, twenty-year-old his counterpart, succumbed to her wounds. "Our request remains for all West Virginians and the nation's citizens for their prayers!" Morrisey declared. The governor was present at a vigil on last Friday night for Staff Sgt Wolfe at Musselman High School in his hometown, where the serviceman was once a student. A clergyman at the event shared a message from the guardsman's mother and father, his family. "It is clear to us that there is a long road to go," they expressed, according to regional media outlets. "But our belief keeps us optimistic. We remain thankful for the well-wishes and the support from people all over the world." Staff Sgt Andrew Wolfe. Previously, the state official said Staff Sgt Wolfe had acknowledged medical staff with a positive gesture and was capable of wiggle his feet. Police have formally accused the alleged gunman, an Afghan national named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, with first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill. Prior to his arrival to the US in two years ago, he was once a counterterrorism soldier in a CIA-backed unit that operated alongside US forces in the South Asian nation. The injured airman was one of two thousand National Guard members whom President Donald Trump deployed to the Washington DC in last summer as part of his immigration and crime-related crackdown in urban centers. In the aftermath of the shooting, Trump said he desired another 500 military personnel sent to the District of Columbia. The former presidential office has also cited the attack as a justification for further restrictive policies. They have halted naturalization proceedings for immigrants from a list of nations that were part of a entry restriction announced over the summer, including Afghanistan.
