Vance: Afghan Suspect Proves Immigration Warnings Correct
By Jim Thomas | Wednesday, 26 November 2025 10:23 PM EST
Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday that the Washington, D.C., shooting of two West Virginia National Guard members by an Afghan immigrant has validated his prior warnings about unvetted refugee resettlement.
The shooting occurred Wednesday afternoon just blocks from the White House in a brazen act of violence that the mayor described as a targeted attack.
FBI Director Kash Patel and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said the Guard members were hospitalized in critical condition.
A suspect who was in custody also was shot and had wounds that were not believed to be life-threatening, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
The suspect was identified as Rahmanullah Lakamal.
