2 National Guard troops seen in jarring photo moments after being gunned down by Afghan terror suspect in DC

A jarring image shows authorities rushing to help two West Virginia National Guard members just moments after they were gunned down by a crazed shooter in Washington, DC, Wednesday afternoon.

Footage captured by CBS News showed the two brave troops lifeless on the ground as scores of law enforcement officers, including cops and Secret Service agents, surrounded them during the chaotic moment.

A nearby bus stop was also shot out during the ambush-style attack, leaving shards of glass on the ground near the disturbing scene.

Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died of her wounds on Thanksgiving while Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains clinging to life as of Friday evening.

The alleged gunman, Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was wounded when another National Guard member returned fire, ending his hail of terror.

He’s facing first-degree murder and related charges, federal prosecutors said.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has vowed to seek the death penalty against the accused killer.

Lakanwal entered the US with his family in 2021 after fleeing the war-torn Middle Eastern country, where he served in an elite unit that has ties to the CIA.

Beckstrom, who hailed from Webster Spring, W.Va., was remembered as the “sweetest girl” with a “heart of gold” by loved ones Friday.

Fellow Mountain State native Wolfe, from Martinsville, remains in critical condition Friday, Gov. Patrick Morrisey said.

Flags in the state are being flown at half-staff to mourn Beckstrom’s death.
