WV Gov Morrisey tweet guard shooting

From the Associated Press . . .

Two West Virginia National Guard members shot Wednesday near the White House have died, the state’s governor said.

Governor Patrick Morrisey confirmed their deaths in a social media post.

“We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues,” he said.

A suspect who was in custody also was shot and has injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity. One National Guard member was shot in the head, according to a person familiar with the details of the incident who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

The shooting happened at the corner of 17th and H Streets in the northwest quadrant of the city, roughly two blocks northwest of the White House.

Emergency medical responders transported all three victims to a hospital, according to Vito Maggiolo, the public information officer for the DC Fire and Emergency Services. The Joint DC Task Force confirmed they responded to the incident after reports of the shooting. The Metropolitan Police Department also said they were on-scene.

  1. The libertarians liberals and the Leftists love this. Strange they still only support the cops killing to protect government property.

    But they want you arrested if you kill to protect your private property.

    I was told once a very long time ago cops are pigs. According to the three L’s.

    Who say it’s ok to steal up to $950.

  2. “West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey initially said the troops had died, but later walked back the statement to say his office was “receiving conflicting reports” about their condition.”

      One commenter who saw video from the scene said injuries on one of them did not look survivable.

      Good news, the suspect is in custody, and I really hope it is who we think they are…

    NBC news reports :

    “A 29-year-old man whose last known location was in Bellingham, Washington, has been identified as the suspect in today’s shootings, four senior law enforcement sources told NBC News.

    Rahmanullah Lakanwal has been identified as the suspect, said the four senior law enforcement sources, who have been briefed on the investigation.”

    Bellingham, Washington state is a hard-left area, politically….

      UPDATE –

      It has now been reported the woman national guardsman has succumbed to her head wound… 🙁

    1. Yep, an illegal alien and left wing ideology.

      29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who overstayed the ‘Special Immigrant Visa (SIV)’ he got during the Biden admin.

      It was a targeted ‘ambush style attack’ terrorism attack. This animal was laying in wait around a corner, he came around the corner and attacked – the troops reacted to the sudden ambush and shot him but not before two of the troops were hit. He used a handgun.

      1. Why are all these troops not armed? Apparently, only one of this group of troops was armed with a firearm, one of the troops had to use a knife to defend against this attacker then the troop with the gun shot the attacker.

        During the attack the attacker was screaming out one of the far left wing and democrat party favorite things, he was yelling out “Allahu Akbar”

        1. Ok, it turns out these troops are normally armed. But a couple of sources are reporting one of the troops used a knife.

          1. All the National Guard troops deployed to Memphis
            Tennessee are carrying side arms. I’ve noticed that on the television broadcasts..

      2. More Info: This illegal alien [his name] was trending on google searches before he carried out his terrorist ambush attack on the National Guard Troops in D.C.. [possibly] worked for CIA in the past in Kandahar.

  4. Two National Guardsmen Shot After Democrats Dubbed Their Presence In DC An ‘Occupation’.

    “Democrats have relentlessly fomented fear and hatred of troops deployed to help reduce crime and violence.
    …”

  5. Soros funds sedition: far left wing marx -ist socia – list NGO ‘National Lawyers Guild’, the terrorist organization ANTIFA supporters, an NGO funded by Soros, partnered with ‘Win Without War’, another marx -ist soci -alist group, to produce the ‘script’ used by six democrat congress members to produce a sedition video for U.S. troops urging them to not follow so-called illegal orders from President Trump and to get the U.S. military to rebel.

    “🚨 BREAKING: It’s been revealed that a nonprofit linked to George Soros is fomenting sedition within the military around the same time a ‘script’ went out to Democrat members of Congress urging rebellion within the ranks against President Trump.

    There are also links to ANTIFA.

    On November 11th – just days before the video – the National Lawyers Guild published a page urging service members to refuse “illegal” orders.

    The same talking point in the video.

    Win Without War has put up a billboard in NC urging chaos and dissent within the ranks, a group linked to a 501(c)(4) backed by Soros’ Open Society. The group was previously named New Security Action.

    As per @DataRepublican
    , Win Without War is partnered with the National Lawyers Guild.

    National Lawyers Guild is a supporter of antifa.

    And to wrap it all together? Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) said on national TV a ‘script’ was sent to him. He ended up not participating, but admitted it was coordinated from an external party.

    There it is.

    Rope them ALL IN to this investigation. THIS RUNS DEEP.”

  6. Here’s a crazy idea. Let’s stop importing people from s_hole countries. If these people were so great, like the lying libs keep telling us, then their own countries wouldn’t be such s_holes. Let’s be extremely selective of who we allow to stay in our country.

    1. The left was against the Iraq war. Because they said you could not impose a jeffersonian style democracy on a society that had never known democracy before.

      But yet those same people believe that you can import people from societies who have never known jeffersonian democracy.

      Import them from Asia and Africa. People who don’t know what western freedom is.

      Immigrants who have no idea what the 1st amendment really means.

      When it comes to immigration , the Left really does think like george w bush who wanted to install democracy in another society.

      The Left just wants to bring those societies here.

      In democrat controlled states, they want the cheap labor and the illegal alien vote.

      The difference is in republican controlled states that might want the cheap labor. But they don’t want illegal aliens voting.

      The problem with the third world is that they are very clannish , very tribal , still.

      You can see that with what is going on in Minneapolis. With the different somali tribes and clans, there arguing among themselves.

      1. “Because they said you could not impose a Jeffersonian style democracy on a society that had never known democracy before.”

        They were surprisingly correct about that as we have since learned. We also apparently didn’t count on the Saudis hating us so much because we were stationed there beginning with the Gulf War.
