🔗 Share this article National Guardsman Recovering Following Sustaining Gunshot Wounds in the Nation's Capital Personnel of the state militia monitoring a subway stop in Washington DC. A servicemember of the Air National Guard is on the mend after he was gravely wounded in an ambush-style shooting last month in Washington DC. The family of Andrew Wolfe, 24, say "his head wound is gradually improving and that he's starting to 'look more like himself,'" stated West Virginia Governor the governor. The family anticipates the Air Force staff sergeant to be in acute care for the next two to three weeks, and they feel optimistic about his recovery, according to the official's statement. The serviceman was one of a pair of West Virginia National Guard members injured by gunfire when a shooter began shooting not far from the presidential residence on 26 November. His fellow guardsmember, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, died from her injuries. "We continue to ask all state residents and Americans for their prayers!" Morrisey declared. The governor was present at a vigil on last Friday night for the injured soldier at Musselman High School in his hometown, where the guardsman was once a student. A clergyman at the vigil shared a statement from the soldier's parents, his family. "It is clear to us that there is a long road to go," they wrote, as reported by regional media Metro News. "But our faith keeps us optimistic. We remain thankful for the well-wishes and the encouragement from people all over the world." Staff Sgt Andrew Wolfe. Earlier in the week, the governor said Staff Sgt Wolfe had acknowledged medical staff with a thumbs-up and was able to wiggle his feet. Law enforcement have formally accused the alleged gunman, an Afghan national named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, with first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill. Before coming to the United States in two years ago, he was once a member of a special forces unit in a CIA-backed unit that worked with American troops in the South Asian nation. Staff Sgt Wolfe was one of 2,000 militia personnel whom the former president dispatched to the Washington DC in August as part of his immigration and crime-related crackdown in Democratic-led cities. Following the incident, Trump said he desired another 500 military personnel sent to the nation's capital. The former presidential office has also referenced the attack as a justification for additional restrictive policies. They have cancelled all citizenship ceremonies for foreign nationals from 19 countries that were part of a travel ban announced over the recent season, among them Afghanistan.
