Two National Guard soldiers have been shot in an ambush-style attack just 800 yards from the White House, sparking a lockdown at the president's residence.
The suspected gunman is in custody and two soldiers are in critical condition after a shoot-out at Farragut West metro station in the center of Washington, DC. The suspect was also wounded.
Donald Trump vowed that 'the animal' who shot the troops 'will pay a very steep price.'
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that two soldiers are being treated at a local hospital after West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey earlier sparked confusion by announcing the soldiers were dead before walking back his statement.
Graphic images from the scene showed a soldier lying injured on the pavement with blood pouring from his head as a Secret Service agent gave him medical attention.
An unidentified trooper was seen on a stretcher inside an ambulance receiving medical attention at the scene of the shooting.
The FBI, ATF and Secret Service swarmed on the scene as a helicopter landed on the National Mall to evacuate one of the wounded National Guardsmen.
Trump has deployed 2,300 National Guard troops into DC since August as part of his promise to crack down on rampant crime in the nation's capital.

Bet it was one of Mark Kelly’s goons that shot the guardsmen.
Sounds like they need more National Guard troops
From the looks of the pic of the naked perp they have shown on X, he looks arab
Wife said they have passed away. Not seeing that anywhere yet.
That obese guy doesn't have a scratch on him, probably had chest pains or something. The report said the gunman was seriously wounded.
In other words a demoncrap. Islamocommie. One of the Seditious 6's people.
Kash said they are critical but NOT deceased, the West Virginia governor took it back
Elissa Slotkin. What do you have to say now?
Democrats bear responsibility here.
Like always happens when events like this take place it is confusing and people jump the.
Sounds like they need to round up traitor democrats and their propaganda mouth pieces from media
Pronto! And then give them the January6 treatment.
Were these poor guys even armed?
Time for payback. NOW.
Trump just asked Pete for 500 more
I smell “Allahu Akbar!”
I like the way the headline tries to make you think this happened at the White House.
No American coverage available? Probably not any better, never mind that.
“Two National Guard soldiers were shot in the head during a possible terror attack by a lone gunman identified as an Afghan national.”
First sentence of article.
Well we know its not a white guy... Canadian, Muslim or Arab
Pretty much.
The FBi has no urgency against this. For them the Jan6ers are the ones to hunt and are in the White House
