National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom has died from injuries after D.C. shooting
(NPR) Sarah Beckstrom, one of the two West Virginia National Guard members shot Wednesday in Washington, D.C., has died.
During a Thanksgiving Day call to service members, President Trump announced her death, adding that the second Guard member, Andrew Wolfe, "is fighting for his life."
In a statement, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey confirmed that Beckstrom died from injuries sustained during the shooting on Wednesday.
"She answered the call to serve, stepped forward willingly, and carried out her mission with the strength and character that define the very best of the West Virginia National Guard," Morrisey said.
