Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national admitted to the U.S. under a Biden-era program for Afghans who assisted the American military, has been identified as the suspect in a shooting near the White House on November 26.

Lakanwal allegedly opened fire on two West Virginia National Guard members just two blocks from the White House before being shot himself. All three are reported to be in critical condition.

Jeffrey Carrol, executive assistant chief of the Washington D.C. police, described the incident as an ambush. “The attacker came around the corner and immediately started firing a firearm,” he said. Local media reported that other guardsmen on site responded quickly, though it is not yet confirmed who fired the shots that hit Lakanwal.

FBI Director Kash Patel said the shooting appeared to be “targeted,” but authorities have not confirmed whether Lakanwal planned additional attacks.

President Donald Trump condemned the suspect, calling him “an animal” and a “foreigner who entered our country from Afghanistan, a hellhole on earth.” He described the attack as “heinous” and blamed the Biden administration’s Afghan resettlement policy, calling for all Afghans admitted under the program to be “reexamined” and for measures to remove anyone who does not “add benefit to our country.”

President Joe Biden also condemned the violence, saying, “Violence of any kind is unacceptable,” and offered prayers for the injured National Guard members and their families.
