FBI Expands Investigation into Washington Shooting, President Trump Announces Victim's Death
In a widening investigation into the Wednesday shooting in Washington that left one national guard member dead and another critically injured, the FBI is now scrutinizing multiple properties. The suspect identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, was linked to a CIA-backed unit in Afghanistan before entering the US in 2021 under a resettlement program.
FBI agents have been searching for electronic devices from Lakanwal's residence, including mobile phones and laptops, while also interviewing his relatives. The move comes after the agency sought additional information about the suspect's activities in Afghanistan, where he allegedly worked with CIA-backed military units.
In a shocking turn of events, President Trump announced that one of the national guard members shot, Sarah Beckstrom, had died. Beckstrom, 20, was part of the US troops injured during the shooting. The president also called for all Afghan refugees who entered the US under Biden's administration to be re-examined in light of Lakanwal's identity.
Lakanwal, an alleged gunman, worked with CIA-backed military units before entering the US under Operation Allies Welcome program. This led to Trump stating that South Africa will not be invited to G20 events when it presides over the forum next year due to "punitive" measures.
Additionally, Venezuela has banned six airlines from operating in its territory amid tensions with the US, while Denmark has set up a "night watch" to monitor Trump's pronouncements and movements.

I gotta say, this whole thing is kinda suspicious... like, how did Lakanwal end up getting into the US under some resettlement program? 
It just don't add up. And now President Trump is calling for re-examination of all Afghan refugees who came in under Biden's admin? That's a pretty broad brush to sweep under... you know, but it's also kinda understandable given the circumstances.
. I mean, I get why Trump would want to make a point, but can't we just have a constructive conversation instead of resorting to this? And what about those airlines banned by Venezuela? That's just another layer of tension between countries... 
like the US is basically saying 'hey we let this guy in because of refugee programs now he's shot an american' 
meanwhile trump's just over here making stuff up about south africa being banned from g20 lol what a move 
and now denmark's got a "night watch" on trump's movements like is this real life or something? 
. A guy from Afghanistan shows up in the US, gets resettled, and then turns out to be involved with some shady CIA-backed ops? It's wild! And now they're talkin' about re-examinin' all these Afghan refugees who came over under Biden's admin? What's goin' on here? 
she was so young... what's going on here? First one national guard member is shot, then another is critical and now the suspect is linked to CIA-backed military units in Afghanistan 
does that even make sense?
. I mean, can't we just focus on figuring out why this guy did what he did? 
. I don’t know about anyone else, but it feels like we're getting some pretty sketchy info out of this situation 
. What's up with South Africa being banned from G20 events? Is that even related to the Afghanistan connection? 
It's like, what were they thinking letting him into the country under a resettlement program?
... seems like everyone's got an opinion though from the President to Denmark's 'night watch'... gotta wonder if it's all just a big show to distract us from something else 
...
is it really worth it to mess with other countries' international relations just because of some guy who shot up a US national guard member in DC? 
anyway president trump is really ratcheting up the drama with his comments about sarah beckstrom dying and south africa getting banned from g20 events like whoa 
. And now the FBI is all over his house looking for electronic devices and interviewing his relatives 
. I mean, that's some crazy stuff right there. I'm not sure what to make of it yet, but it sounds like we're looking at a whole lot more than just a random shooting 
. And Trump's comments about South Africa and Venezuela... that's some wild stuff right there 
. I guess you could say the world is getting pretty interesting, huh?
