Father of Fallen National Guard Member Calls Her Death a 'Horrible Tragedy' in Heartbreaking Post
The alleged attacker traveled over 90 miles to carry out the shooting using a .357 revolver; another soldier remains in critical condition, authorities said.
- On Thursday, Gary Beckstrom, father of 20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, wrote on Facebook that `My baby girl has passed to glory.`
- Authorities identified the alleged attacker as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakamal, an Afghan national admitted under Operation Allies Welcome, with a post saying he was mass paroled on September 8, 2021.
- Investigators say the attacker used a.357 Smith & Wesson revolver and reportedly drove from Bellingham, Washington, about 90 miles north of Seattle to carry out the shooting.
- Still hospitalized is 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe, who remains in critical condition after being shot multiple times near the Farragut West Metro station, and President Donald Trump called the alleged shooter a `monster` Thursday.
- Earlier this week, CIA Director John Ratcliffe criticized the Biden administration's Afghan relocation program, and on Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also condemned it before Beckstrom passed away.
