The father of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, who was critically wounded in Wednesday's attack in Washington, D.C., said Thursday that his daughter is not expected to survive, The New York Times reported.

“I’m holding her hand right now,” Gary Beckstrom told the newspaper about his 20-year-old daughter, a Specialist in the National Guard. “She has a mortal wound. It’s not going to be a recovery.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi previously spoke about Beckstrom in an interview with Fox News, without naming her, saying: "She volunteered to work on Thanksgiving—working today, as did many other guardsmen and women so that other people could be at home with their families. Yet now their families are in hospital rooms with them, while they are fighting for their lives," she added. "Everyone just pray today for these two soldiers."

Another wounded Guard member, Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, is in critical condition, officials said.

1. It was likely a stunt that this regime pulled.

Instead of sending the National Guard home as legally ordered, the asshat regime likely arranged this in order to create premise to order more troops and defy the court.

3. Ridiculous.

Tell me exactly how they "arranged" this.

The lack of logic displayed by some posters is stunning sometimes

4. This is 100% on Trump ... there was zero need for her to be in D.C. or any other National Guard troops too.

She should have been @ home in West Virginia for the Holidays not in Washington D.C. where
some kind of Jack Wagon saw her and her uniform as something to lash out @ to make the
devils in his brain to be quiet.

Is Trump so sick that he will go to her funeral?

Both of the W.V. Guardsmen had been sworn in less than 24 hours before they were shot.

10. Oh, no!

I am so sorry to hear that.
