US Shooting | Eyewitnesses Describe Scene After 2 National Guard Officers Were Shot Near White House

Two West Virginia National Guard members were shot Wednesday near the White House. Gov. Patrick Morrisey initially said that both members of the state’s National Guard who were shot near the White House had passed away in a post on X. About 20 minutes later, Morrisey said that his office was hearing “conflicting reports about the condition of our two Guard members” in another post, but did not elaborate further. A suspect, now in custody, was also shot and has injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity. Two women exited the metro station just after the shots were fired, and someone told them: “run.”
