FBI Director Patel says National Guard members are in critical condition
Two National Guard members were critically injured in an ambush-style shooting near the Farragut Metro station, prompting a response from multiple federal agencies, including the FBI. President Trump confirmed their critical condition and stated the suspect was severely wounded. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans to send 500 additional troops to D.C., while West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey reported conflicting updates about the victims’ status. The incident reflects a concerning rise in ambush attacks targeting law enforcement this year.
