🔗 Share this article National Guardsman Healing Following Being Shot in Washington DC Members of the state militia monitoring a metro station in the District of Columbia. A member of the Air National Guard is on the mend after he was gravely wounded in an ambush-style shooting last month in the US capital. The family of the 24-year-old soldier, 24, report "his head wound is slowly healing and that he's beginning to 'look more like himself,'" stated West Virginia Governor the governor. The soldier's relatives anticipates the military non-commissioned officer to be in acute care for the next two to three weeks, and they feel optimistic about his recovery, said the governor. Staff Sgt Wolfe was one of two state guardsmen shot when a shooter opened fire in proximity to the presidential residence on November 26th. His fellow guardsmember, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, succumbed to her wounds. "We continue to ask all state residents and Americans for their thoughts and prayers!" Morrisey declared. The governor was present at a candlelight gathering on last Friday night for the injured soldier at a local secondary school in Inwood, West Virginia, where the guardsman was once a pupil. A clergyman at the vigil shared a statement from the guardsman's mother and father, his family. "It is clear to us that there is a long road to go," they wrote, as reported by local news outlet outlets. "But our faith keeps us hopeful. We remain thankful for the prayers and the encouragement from people all over the globe." Staff Sgt Andrew Wolfe. Earlier in the week, the state official said the serviceman had responded to a nurse with a thumbs-up and was capable of wiggle his feet. Police have charged the alleged gunman, an individual from Afghanistan named the suspect, with first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill. Before coming to the United States in two years ago, he was once a counterterrorism soldier in a paramilitary group that operated alongside US forces in Afghanistan. Staff Sgt Wolfe was one of two thousand militia personnel whom the former president deployed to the nation's capitol in last summer as part of his policy initiative in Democratic-led cities. In the aftermath of the shooting, Trump said he desired another 500 military personnel sent to the nation's capital. The Trump administration has also cited the attack as a reason for further restrictive policies. They have halted naturalization proceedings for immigrants from a list of nations that were part of a travel ban implemented over the recent season, among them Afghanistan.
