National Guardsman Healing Following Sustaining Gunshot Wounds in Washington DC

A servicemember of the Air National Guard is showing improvement after he was critically injured in an targeted attack last month in Washington DC.

The parents of Andrew Wolfe, twenty-four, report "his head wound is slowly healing and that he's beginning to 'regain his familiar appearance,'" said West Virginia Governor the governor.

The soldier's relatives expects the Air Force staff sergeant to be in intensive treatment for the next two to three weeks, and they feel optimistic about his recovery, said the governor.

The serviceman was one of two state guardsmen shot when a gunman began shooting in proximity to the presidential residence on November 26th. His colleague, twenty-year-old his counterpart, succumbed to her wounds.

"Our request remains for all state residents and Americans for their thoughts and prayers!" Morrisey declared.

Morrisey was present at a candlelight gathering on Friday evening for Staff Sgt Wolfe at Musselman High School in his hometown, where the serviceman was once a student.

A pastor at the event shared a message from the soldier's parents, his family.

"We know that there is a difficult journey to go," they expressed, as reported by regional media Metro News.

"But our belief keeps us optimistic. We remain thankful for the prayers and the encouragement from people all over the globe."

Previously, the state official said Staff Sgt Wolfe had acknowledged medical staff with a positive gesture and was capable of wiggle his feet.

Police have charged the alleged gunman, an individual from Afghanistan named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, with first-degree murder and attempted murder.

Prior to his arrival to the United States in 2021, he was once a member of a special forces unit in a paramilitary group that operated alongside American troops in Afghanistan.

The injured airman was one of two thousand militia personnel whom President Donald Trump dispatched to the Washington DC in last summer as part of his immigration and crime-related crackdown in urban centers.

In the aftermath of the shooting, Trump said he wanted an additional five hundred National Guard troops sent to the nation's capital.

The Trump administration has also referenced the attack as a reason for further restrictive policies.

They have cancelled all citizenship ceremonies for foreign nationals from 19 countries that were part of a entry restriction announced over the recent season, including the suspect's home country.
