🔗 Share this article Air Force Staff Sergeant Recovering After Sustaining Gunshot Wounds in Washington DC Personnel of the National Guard monitoring a metro station in Washington DC. A servicemember of the Air National Guard is showing improvement after he was gravely wounded in an ambush-style shooting last month in the US capital. The family of Andrew Wolfe, twenty-four, report "his head wound is gradually improving and that he's beginning to 'look more like himself,'" stated the state's chief executive the governor. The family expects the military non-commissioned officer to be in acute care for the coming fortnight, and they feel optimistic about his recovery, said the governor. The serviceman was one of a pair of West Virginia National Guard members shot when a shooter opened fire in proximity to the presidential residence on 26 November. His colleague, twenty-year-old his counterpart, succumbed to her wounds. "Our request remains for all West Virginians and the nation's citizens for their thoughts and prayers!" Morrisey declared. The governor attended a candlelight gathering on Friday evening for the injured soldier at Musselman High School in his hometown, where the guardsman was once a pupil. A clergyman at the vigil read a statement from the guardsman's mother and father, his family. "It is clear to us that there is a long road to go," they wrote, according to regional media Metro News. "But our faith keeps us hopeful. We remain grateful for the well-wishes and the support from people all over the globe." Staff Sgt Andrew Wolfe. Previously, the governor said the serviceman had acknowledged medical staff with a thumbs-up and was capable of move his toes. Law enforcement have formally accused the alleged gunman, an Afghan national named the suspect, with premeditated homicide and attempted murder. Before coming to the United States in two years ago, he was once a member of a special forces unit in a CIA-backed unit that worked with American troops in the South Asian nation. The injured airman was one of 2,000 National Guard members whom the former president dispatched to the Washington DC in August as part of his immigration and crime-related crackdown in urban centers. Following the incident, the former president said he wanted another 500 military personnel deployed to the nation's capital. The Trump administration has also referenced the attack as a reason for additional restrictive policies. They have cancelled all citizenship ceremonies for foreign nationals from 19 countries that were part of a entry restriction announced over the summer, including Afghanistan.
