The suspect came to the U.S. in September 2021, a relative told NBC News. He has been identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, according to four senior law enforcement sources.
The suspect in the Washington, D.C., shooting that critically wounded two National Guard members was an Afghan national who served alongside U.S. troops in Afghanistan, officials and a relative say.
The suspect, identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, according to four senior law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation, opened fire at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday a short distance from the White House, striking two National Guard members who were on patrol.
The suspect was also shot in the incident and is hospitalized, authorities said.
Ohhhh shit, blowback? Or false flag maybe?
My first thought was false flag. This is an excuse to continue patrolling illegally.
Most of the translators and local guides that came here came as permanent residents with a path to citizenship. The feds are now collecting them and ending their residency. They will almost certainly get murdered but on top of that their families will likely get murdered.
What would you do for your family? They need to investigate his finances and his families disposition and I’ll bet you’ll find some interesting shit one easy or the other.
That was my first thought as well. Deportation for some is literally a death sentence.
Wouldn’t blame him for this if he finally realized what the US is late for a collaborator but better than never.
The call is coming from inside the house.
