Hero National Guardsman filmed taking down DC shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal

A heroic National Guard soldier was seen shooting suspected D.C. terrorist attacker Rahmanullah Lakanwal seconds after the Afghan opened fire on two soldiers.

It was stated that the unidentified soldier fired five shots immediately after being told that 29-year-old Lakanwal ambushed 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe and 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom.

In the images taken by a person in the vehicle, Lakanwal was seen carrying a sharp-nosed gun. Lakanwal was seen on the ground seconds later.

Lakanwal, who was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries in the conflict, is being detained.

The lone gunman was armed with a .357 Smith and Wesson pistol and allegedly opened fire on the two “without provocation, ambush style,” D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Thursday.

He said: ‘A guard was shot, fell to the ground and then the shooter ducked and attacked the guard again. Another guard was shot several times.

‘The fellow guards present immediately responded and engaged the suspect, neutralizing the threat and subduing him at the scene.’

Donald Trump announced the death of Beckstrom, who died of his injuries on Thursday evening.

‘He is no longer with us. He’s looking down on us right now. His parents are also with him. This just happened. He was brutally attacked and killed.’

Trump said Beckstrom was an ‘incredible person.’ Exceptional in every way, department.”

He said the attack was ‘horrific’.

According to authorities, Lakanwal had driven across the country from his home in Bellingham, Washington, to D.C. before shooting at troopers.

It was stated that the alleged gunman was 29-year-old Afghan soldier Rahmanullah Lakanwal.

It was brought to the United States in 2021 as part of Joe Biden’s Operation Welcome Allies following the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The program evacuated and resettled tens of thousands of Afghans following the US exit.

The spy agency’s director, John Ratcliffe, said the suspect had been working with the US, including the CIA, “as a member of a joint force in Kandahar” before his arrival.

He did not specify what Lakanwal did for a living but said the relationship ended shortly after the chaotic evacuation of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

The two victims lay on the ground in the city as part of Trump’s ongoing efforts to clean up D.C. streets.

Following the shooting, the President’s administration quickly ordered 500 more National Guard members into the city.

On Thursday, Trump announced he would “permanently pause” immigration from third-developing countries and ordered green card checks in 19 countries in response to the attack.

He also promised to end all federal aid to non-citizens, strip citizenship of immigrants who harm the United States, and deport foreign nationals deemed security risks or ‘incompatible with Western Civilization’.

“I will permanently pause immigration from all Third World Countries to ensure full recovery of the US system,” he wrote on Truth Social.

Pirro said that the suspect remained under tight security measures in the hospital after the shooting.

He currently faces charges of assault with intent to kill while armed and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence.

Pirro said at the press conference that it was too early to say what the suspect’s motive was.

He added: ‘We pray that they survive and that the top charge is not first-degree murder.

‘But make no mistake, if they don’t, that will certainly be the charge.’
