The father of the West Virginia guard member who died following Wednesday’s Washington, DC, shooting responded with two heartbreaking sentences on Thanksgiving.
Gary Beckstrom, the father of 20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, wrote on Facebook Thursday: “My baby girl has passed to glory. If I don’t talk to you don’t be offend [sic] this has been a horrible tragedy.”
The young woman soldier had been in critical condition with gunshot wounds since the attack as doctors tried to save her life.
Still hospitalized and in critical condition is 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe, who with Beckstrom was was shot multiple times while on duty near the Farragut West Metro station.
Authorities have identified their alleged attacker as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakamal, an Afghan national who came to the United States under a program to accept people who had allied themselves with the United States during its war on terrorism in that country.

20 years old, 20 years old, 20 years old. Let’s hear democrats say she deserved it like what they said about Charlie Kirk. All this hell just because those bastards refuse to depend on legit elections. When is enough enough?
You can’t separate the Muslim from the jihadi.
Prayers up for her.
And prayers for her grieving loved ones.
Same. I cannot even begin to comprehend. And Bidet’s family is just going on like nothing has happened. And Bidet, how ‘fortunate’ his deadly ass aggressive cancer has apparently given him a reprieve. The hero that died is worth more than his entire bloodline.
Praying for this wonderful family. No service member should lose their life to a deranged monster on American soil.
Biden committed the biggest act of treason against the USA by any sitting US President in history when he opened that border costing hundreds of thousands of US citizens their lives from illegal drugs, criminals, rapists, killers.
His entire term 100,000 people were dying every year from fentanyl alone, most of them young naive adults.
If it was up to me, the bastard would be blindfolded, tied to a post, and executed by firing squad like the dog he is.
And Pam Bondi can absolutely go to hell, she isn’t fooling anyone. Just like Jeff Sessions, Bill Barf, she is taking her sweet ass time biding her time till Trump leaves office. She has zero intention on bringing any these domestic enemies to justice.
BO is behind it all. Biden was just promised a place in history and Jill was promised all of the luxuries that come with being President.
