🔗 Share this article Air Force Staff Sergeant Healing After Sustaining Gunshot Wounds in the Nation's Capital Personnel of the state militia patrolling a subway stop in the District of Columbia. A servicemember of the National Guard is showing improvement after he was gravely wounded in an ambush-style shooting last month in Washington DC. The parents of Andrew Wolfe, 24, report "the injury to his head is slowly healing and that he's beginning to 'regain his familiar appearance,'" said West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey. The soldier's relatives anticipates the Air Force staff sergeant to be in acute care for the coming fortnight, and they feel optimistic about his progress, said the governor. The serviceman was one of a pair of West Virginia National Guard members shot when a gunman began shooting not far from the presidential residence on 26 November. His colleague, twenty-year-old his counterpart, died from her injuries. "Our request remains for all state residents and the nation's citizens for their prayers!" the governor said. The governor was present at a vigil on Friday evening for Staff Sgt Wolfe at Musselman High School in his hometown, where the guardsman was once a pupil. A pastor at the event read a message from the soldier's parents, Jason and Melody Wolfe. "We know that there is a difficult journey to go," they expressed, according to regional media outlets. "However our belief keeps us optimistic. We remain grateful for the well-wishes and the support from people all over the globe." Staff Sgt Andrew Wolfe. Previously, the governor said Staff Sgt Wolfe had responded to a nurse with a positive gesture and was capable of wiggle his feet. Law enforcement have formally accused the alleged gunman, an Afghan national named the suspect, with premeditated homicide and assault with intent to kill. Before coming to the United States in 2021, he was once a member of a special forces unit in a paramilitary group that worked with American troops in the South Asian nation. Staff Sgt Wolfe was one of 2,000 National Guard members whom the former president deployed to the Washington DC in August as part of his immigration and crime-related crackdown in Democratic-led cities. In the aftermath of the incident, the former president said he wanted an additional five hundred National Guard troops deployed to the nation's capital. The Trump administration has also referenced the attack as a reason for additional immigration crackdown measures. They have cancelled all citizenship ceremonies for foreign nationals from a list of nations that were part of a entry restriction announced over the summer, including Afghanistan.
