Trump says one of National Guard members shot in Washington DC has died

One West Virginia National Guard member died and another remains critical after a November 26 ambush-style shooting near the White House, authorities said.

  • On Nov. 26, 2025, two West Virginia National Guard members were shot near the White House and remain in critical condition, while President Donald Trump ordered 500 additional troops to protect the capital.
  • Investigators say the attacker drove cross-country from Washington state and used a.350 Smith & Wesson revolver, with the motive still unknown, authorities say.
  • Investigators say the soldiers returned fire, wounding the shooter who was reportedly shot four times, while both victims were shot in the head and are treated at Level I trauma centers.
  • Prosecutors warned charges could increase depending on the suspect's condition, with U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro stating the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi is conducting a `thorough and impartial investigation`.
  • Following the attack, federal officials called it `ambush style`, and District Mayor Muriel Bowser described it as `targeted`, prompting security and immigration policy shifts.
