Chapter 2: What happened to West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom?
President Trump says West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom is dead. Trump made the announcement during his Thanksgiving call to U.S. troops. Beckstrom was 20 years old. She was one of two West Virginia Guard members who were shot in Washington, D.C. Wednesday in what officials say was a targeted attack. NPR's Brian Mann is following developments. While speaking to U.S.
military leaders around the world, Trump said the other guard member, 24-year-old Andrew Wolf, also from West Virginia, is still fighting for his life after undergoing surgery. Wolf remains in critical condition. The suspect is in custody and has been identified as an Afghan national who came to the U.S. during the Biden administration and was granted asylum earlier this year.
President Trump did not mention the D.C. attack in a long message he posted to social media late Thursday, but he did vow to freeze immigration from what he called third-world countries.

But there's always this sort of dark cloud sort of waiting for you, that reminder that, oh, yes, this happened. And this is something that we're stuck with, that we can't escape.
The ongoing state investigation of the floods and lawsuits against Camp Mystic make the grief hard to forget.
