Muriel Bowser

I'm Muriel Bowser.

I'm the mayor of Washington D. C. And I too want to send my thoughts and prayers to the families of the guardsmen and to the guardsmen who are in critical condition in a local hospital.

I am joined by members and leadership from the DC National Guard, from the West Virginia National Guard, United States Secret Service, Deputy Mayor Pia, Fire Chief Donnelly, and Metro's General Manager Randy Clark.

And we join with the FBI Director in ensuring that MPD investigates the U.S.

Attorney

prosecutes this case to the fullest extent of the law.

I've had the opportunity to brief U.S.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was speaking to the president when I called, as well as the United States Attorney Pirro, who assured me that this case will have her office's complete attention.

Mayor, was there any other suspect?

Does this validate the need for the National Guard here in DC?

What we know, Andrea, is that this is a targeted shooting.

One individual who appeared to target these guardsmen, that individual has been taken into custody.

And he was shot by a National Guard member?
