National Guard Member Sarah Beckstrom Dies After Washington DC Shooting

National Guard specialist Sarah Beckstrom has died after being shot near the White House while on patrol with a fellow Guardsman, who remains in critical condition. The pair were ambushed close to 17th and I Streets during a federal crime-prevention deployment.

The suspect, an Afghan national who recently received asylum, faces upgraded charges as investigators assess possible terrorism links. Donald Trump announced Beckstrom’s death and criticised current immigration vetting policies.
