One National Guard member was killed and another is in critical condition after a "targeted" shooting near the White House in Washington, D.C., yesterday that's being investigated as a terrorist attack.

Sarah Beckstrom, 20, whose death the president announced tonight, and Andrew Wolfe, 24, are from the West Virginia National Guard.

The suspect, named as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, faces three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and one count of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.

The CIA said today that the Afghan national worked with U.S. forces during the war in Afghanistan.

President Donald Trump called the attack "an act off terror" in an address last night and said "every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden" must be re-examined.

The federal government on Thursday vowed to take a "rigorous reexamination" of all green card holders following the attack on two National Guard members, allegedly by an Afghan national.

Joseph Edlow, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said he was acting at the direction of President Donald Trump.

"I have directed a full scale, rigorous reexamination of every Green Card for every alien from every country of concern," Edlow said in a statement. "The protection of this country and of the American people remains paramount, and the American people will not bear the cost of the prior administration’s reckless resettlement policies. American safety is non negotiable."
