A servicemember of the Air National Guard is on the mend after he was gravely wounded in an targeted attack last month in Washington DC. The family of Andrew Wolfe, twenty-four, say "the injury to his head is slowly healing and that he's starting to 'regain his familiar appearance,'" said the state's chief executive the governor. The family anticipates the Air Force staff sergeant to be in intensive treatment for the coming fortnight, and they feel optimistic about his recovery, said the governor. The serviceman was one of a pair of state guardsmen shot when a gunman began shooting not far from the White House on 26 November. His colleague, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, died from her injuries. "Our request remains for all state residents and Americans for their thoughts and prayers!" Morrisey declared. Morrisey was present at a candlelight gathering on Friday evening for the injured soldier at a local secondary school in his hometown, where the serviceman was once a student. A clergyman at the event shared a message from the soldier's parents, his family. "We know that there is a difficult journey to go," they expressed, as reported by local news outlet outlets. "But our faith keeps us hopeful. We remain grateful for the prayers and the encouragement from people all over the world." Staff Sgt the recovering guardsman. Earlier in the week, the governor said Staff Sgt Wolfe had acknowledged medical staff with a thumbs-up and was able to wiggle his feet. Police have formally accused the suspected shooter, an individual from Afghanistan named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, with first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill. Before coming to the United States in 2021, he was once a member of a special forces unit in a CIA-backed unit that operated alongside American troops in Afghanistan. Staff Sgt Wolfe was one of 2,000 National Guard members whom the former president dispatched to the Washington DC in last summer as part of his immigration and crime-related crackdown in Democratic-led cities. Following the shooting, the former president said he desired another 500 military personnel sent to the nation's capital. The former presidential office has also referenced the attack as a justification for additional restrictive policies. They have cancelled all citizenship ceremonies for foreign nationals from a list of nations that were part of a entry restriction announced over the recent season, among them the suspect's home country.
