Who is Rahmanullah Lakanwal? Afghani suspect in DC National Guard shooting

Senior law enforcement officials have identified the suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., as an Afghan national, NewsNation has learned.

FBI agents named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, as the suspect. Law enforcement officials added that Lakanwal allegedly used a handgun in the shooting.

FBI Director Kash Patel said Wednesday two members of the West Virginia National Guard are in critical condition following the shooting.

At 2:15 ET, members were on patrol near 17th and I Street NW when a suspect discharged a firearm at the members, coming around a corner. Other Guard members were able to subdue a suspect and detain them as more law enforcement arrived.
