I'm surprised they captured him alive.

I'm surprised they captured him alive.

Disciplined troops at work. Although DC police may have arrested him.
Witnesses heard troops firing big guns, compared to shots fired by the Afghan national.
Shot and threat neutralized, likely the guy was moaning on ground and collapsed, or unconscious.

Advantage to keeping shooter alive, interrogate for information.

Advantage to keeping shooter alive, interrogate for information.

I read that the 2 guardsmen he shot, fired back at him and wounded him. That's why I'm surprised he was alive.

He is probably disaffected by what the US government did by pulling out of Afghanistan, basically abandoning the country.

"A lone gunman opened fire without provocation, ambush style," she said. "Armed with a .357 Smith and Wesson revolver, one Guardsman is struck, goes down, and then the shooter leans over and strikes the Guardsmen again. Another Guardsman is struck several times."

The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was taken to a local hospital, where he remains under heavy guard, according to Pirro.

Authorities are investigating the shooting as a possible act of international terrorism.

She was just 20 years old.
God rest her soul and comfort all who grieve.

Their murderer is an illegal essentially. He should be publicly executed. Paint him with pigs blood before he faced a firing squad.

No martyrdom. Only Hell. Right where he belongs.

And to think,there are those who claim not to live here,who think cracking down on illegals, law breakers, is evil.

No,first degree premeditated murder is evil.

That doesn't seem to be as important to them. Just slamming Trump, who puts Americans security first is evil in their eyes.

President Trump on Sarah's death.

Joined at 18. Murdered at 20.

Bullet proof vests should be standard issue for National Guardsmen.

One of them,possibly Sarah, shot the terrorist before they fell. Wounded,not fatal.
