The US President issued a warning and said that the “animal” who committed the crime “will pay a very steep price” despite his injuries.
“The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen, with both being critically wounded, and now in two separate hospitals, is also severely wounded, but regardless, will pay a very steep price,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“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!,” he added.
Confirming the deaths, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey wrote on X, “It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries. 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.”
“Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones, and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability for this horrific act,” he added.
Trump was not present in Washington DC at the time of the shooting on Wednesday. He is at Mar-a-Lago, his residence-cum-resort in Palm Beach Florida.
Describing what had happened, an AFP reporter said that she heard several loud pops near the scene, following which she saw people running away from a busy outdoor area near the White House, Farragut Square.
