Two National Guardsmen were ambushed in Washington, D.C., in a “targeted shooting” by 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who faces multiple charges including assault with intent to kill and potential murder charges after one guardsman died. Lakanwal, an Afghan national who worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, had difficulties finding employment due to an expired work permit and had driven across the country to target the guardsmen. The FBI is investigating the shooting as a potential act of international terrorism, exploring his connections and motives. He was subdued after being shot by a third guard member during the incident, which involved a .357 revolver.
