The suspected shooter who opened fire on two National Guardsmen just blocks away from the White House has been seen for the first time.
Afghanistan native Rahmanullah Lakanwal drove across the country to target newly sworn-in guardsmen Andrew Wolfe, 24, and Sarah Backstrom, 20, prosecutors revealed on Thursday.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal allegedly opened fire on two National Guardsmen.
The victims are currently fighting for their lives in the hospital, while Lakanwal, who was also injured by gunfire, is expected to make a recovery.
