The two National Guard troops who were shot in Washington, DC have died from their injuries

Bowser and FBI Director Kash Patel said the two guard members are in “critical condition.”

At a news conference this evening, Bowser described the incident as a “targeted shooting.” Patel said the case will be treated as an assault on a federal law enforcement officer. 

Metropolitan Police Executive Assistant Chief Jeffery Carrollsaid the shooting occurred at 2:15 p.m. when a person “came around the corner, raised his arm with a firearm and discharged at the National Guard members.”

At a media availability gathering this evening, Bowser called the shooting of two National Guard members this afternoon “targeted,” saying a suspect who was taken into custody “appeared to target these guardsmen.”

Bowser also told reporters that she has briefed Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was speaking to Trump when she called, as well as U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

Bowser said Pirro “assured me that this case will have her office’s complete attention.”
