West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, 20, of West Virginia, has died after being shot Wednesday in a Washington, D.C. ambush just blocks from the White House.
President Donald Trump confirmed the news Thursday night, noting he was told just seconds before speaking to members of the military at Mar-a-Lago.
"I heard that Sarah Beckstrom, of West Virginia, ... highly respected, young, magnificent person, started service in June of 2023, outstanding in every way, she's just passed away," Trump said. "She's no longer with us. She's looking down at us right now. Her parents are with her. It's just happened. She was savagely attacked. She's dead now."
The president added the second service member wounded in the attack is still "fighting for his life."

Prayers.
I’ll say this: Her blood is on Joe Biden’s hands. That murderous animal was here because of Operation Allies Welcome, the botched 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal plan that allowed roughly 90,000 Afghans to obtain Special Immigration Visas under the Biden Administration.
That’s a fact.
So young. I hope she knew the Lord. R.I.P., and prayers for the family.
I agree with you. Not that he cares.
I hope Trump flies her body home on Air Force One just to piss off the left.
Charge the shooter with capital murder and execute using the federal death penalty.
I demand a public execution
Joe Biden for what you described. The left for not taking crime seriously, thereby forcing Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard in DC. The anti ICE and Guard sentiment by the Left in general, and the Seditious Six in particular. I don't know how else this can be argued.
No jokes over this.
Damn straight. Wait’ll he gets a peak at his 72 virgins.
Drop him off somewhere in WV.
Let the locals know he’s coming.
The only “joke” in this was the shooter! I just posted a pic of fat boy. he’s a bad joke on our society by Biden.
You know I’m in W.Va. don’t you? I’d find an abandoned coal mine and seal him in it, alive.
Inwood WV, somewhere near the Nat Guard base.
He’ll make lots of new friends there.
Those 72 virgins will still be virgins after he’s had his way. Not much down there, is there.
I hope we don’t let this fade into the ether in the next couple of weeks. It is high time that we stop being the polite little conservatives who don’t fight for what we believe in.
West Virginia is only 250 miles away from DC.
You are?!?
Well I like you even more now!
( but don’t go depriving the billies of their fun by throwing him down some coal mine. share!)
