00:00U.S. President Donald Trump said one of the two West Virginia National Guard soldiers shot on Wednesday near the White House has died.
00:10Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, who was only 20 years old, died in the hospital from her injuries.
00:16The White House said Trump spoke to her parents after his remarks.
00:20The second National Guardsman, 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe, was still hospitalized after also sustaining critical wounds.
00:27The suspect is a 29-year-old Afghan national who reportedly worked in a special CIA-backed Afghan army unit before emigrating to the U.S. during Washington's two-decade military presence in Afghanistan.
00:40Trump used the announcement to label the shooting as a terrorist attack and criticized the Biden administration for allowing Afghans who worked with U.S. forces during the Afghanistan war to enter the country.
00:52He suggests that the suspect was mentally unstable after the war and departure from Afghanistan.
