President Trump is praising Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom as an incredible person who was outstanding in every way.

Beckstrom was one of two members of the West Virginia National Guard shot by a gunman on Wednesday not far from the White House.

Beckstrom died of her injuries yesterday while in a D.C.

hospital.

In a call with U.S.

troops on Thanksgiving Day, the president also spoke about the other guard member, 24-year-old Andrew Wolf, who was critically wounded.

The FBI says the shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe says the 29-year-old suspect, who was also wounded, is an Afghan national who worked with the U.S.

government, including the CIA, in Afghanistan.

and entered the U.S.

after the Taliban reclaimed power in 2021.

The two members of the Guard were shot with a .357 handgun.

Beckstrom was from Summersville, West Virginia, about 40 miles away in Webster Springs.

Members of the community held a prayer vigil yesterday for Beckstrom and for Wolf.

As President Trump's special envoy prepares to travel to Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin says Ukraine must surrender territory to Russia for any deal to end the war to be possible.

Speaking in Kyrgyzstan yesterday, Putin renewed his threats to seize more territory unless Kiev withdraws.
