🔗 Share this article Air Force Staff Sergeant Healing Following Being Shot in Washington DC Members of the National Guard monitoring a subway stop in Washington DC. A servicemember of the Air National Guard is on the mend after he was critically injured in an ambush-style shooting last month in Washington DC. The parents of Andrew Wolfe, twenty-four, say "his head wound is slowly healing and that he's starting to 'regain his familiar appearance,'" stated West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey. The family expects the military non-commissioned officer to be in acute care for the next two to three weeks, and they feel optimistic about his progress, according to the official's statement. The serviceman was one of two state guardsmen injured by gunfire when a gunman began shooting not far from the White House on 26 November. His fellow guardsmember, twenty-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, succumbed to her wounds. "Our request remains for all state residents and Americans for their prayers!" Morrisey declared. The governor was present at a candlelight gathering on Friday evening for Staff Sgt Wolfe at Musselman High School in Inwood, West Virginia, where the serviceman was once a pupil. A pastor at the vigil shared a message from the guardsman's mother and father, his family. "We know that there is a difficult journey to go," they expressed, according to regional media Metro News. "However our faith keeps us hopeful. We remain grateful for the well-wishes and the encouragement from people all over the world." Staff Sgt the recovering guardsman. Previously, the state official said the serviceman had acknowledged medical staff with a thumbs-up and was able to wiggle his feet. Police have formally accused the alleged gunman, an Afghan national named the suspect, with first-degree murder and attempted murder. Prior to his arrival to the US 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 two thousand militia personnel whom the former president dispatched to the nation's capitol in last summer as part of his immigration and crime-related crackdown in urban centers. Following the shooting, the former president said he desired another 500 National Guard troops deployed to the nation's capital. The Trump administration has also cited the shooting as a justification for further immigration crackdown measures. They have cancelled all citizenship ceremonies for immigrants from a list of nations that were part of a entry restriction announced over the summer, including the suspect's home country.
