WASHINGTON (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – The two army of the West Virginia National Guard reached by firearms near the White House did not die, but they pour in critical conditions. Kash Patel, director of the FBI, said that after the governor of the state, Patrick Morrisey, on social media, had initially stated that the two had been killed in the attack, and then immediately marched back. Morrisey added that they circulated mixed news about their conditions.
According to a law enforcement officer, the two members of the National Guard involved are a man and a woman, as ABC News reports.
“I would like all those who have faith to pray for those two soldiers of the National Guard,” said on X the Vice-preident of the United States, J.D. Vance.
The shooting would take place near the Club Quarters Hotel, at the corner between the 17th and the first, northwest of the White House. The local police have isolated several blocks and the surrounding area. Washington Metropolitan Police Department stated in a social post that a suspect was arrested. “The White House is aware and is actively monitoring this tragic situation. The president was informed,” said White House spokesman Karoline Leavitt.
President Donald Trump is currently in Florida and immediately commented on the incident on Truth: “The animal that shot the two members of the National Guard, both seriously injured and now sheltered in two separate hospitals, is also seriously injured, but despite this, will pay a very high price. God bless our National Guard and all our military and law enforcement. These are really amazing people. I, as President of the United States, and all those associated with the Presidential Office, are with you!”.
“The Italian Embassy in Washington is verifying the possible involvement of Italian citizens.” The Farnesina refers to X.
