The details

On November 26, 2025, two West Virginia National Guard members were shot on patrol in Washington, D.C. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, age 20, died the next day. Air Force Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, age 24, was left in the hospital in critical condition. Both had recently volunteered to stay longer on that D.C. duty. The Senate offers sympathy to both families. It thanks the Guard members and first responders who caught the attacker.
