Two West Virginia National Guard members were critically wounded in a targeted ambush near the White House; the lone suspect is in custody and also hospitalized, FBI said.
- On Nov. 26, 2025, two National Guard members were shot near Farragut Square Park, and one suspect was also shot, taken into custody, and hospitalized; officials said the guardsmen are in critical condition.
- Because of a federal August order, the National Guard has maintained a presence in Washington with 180 members of the West Virginia National Guard on duty as of Monday, amid criticism from outgoing D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.
- Emergency crews treated three shooting victims and transported them to hospitals, while the 800 block of Connecticut Avenue NW, 1600-1700 blocks of K Street NW, and Farragut West station east side entrance were closed.
- Reacting from Florida, President Donald Trump said, `“The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen... will pay a very steep price,”` while West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey initially confirmed their deaths but later issued conflicting updates.
- Federal officials said multiple agencies are investigating, with FBI Director Kash Patel confirming FBI assistance, U.S. Secret Service and ATF agents on scene, and 500 additional National Guardsmen deployed.
