President Donald Trump addressed the nation following a shooting incident in Washington, D.C., where three individuals, including two National Guardsmen, were injured on Wednesday.
The president described the attack, allegedly carried out by an Afghan national who entered the U.S. during President Joe Biden’s administration in 2021, as a “crime against our nation.”
“This despicable attack was an act of evil, hatred, and terror,” President Trump declared. “It was a crime not just against individuals but against our entire nation and humanity itself. Tonight, Americans stand with the two West Virginian National Guardsmen and their families.”
Trump promised that the perpetrator, whom he referred to as an “animal,” would face justice. He mentioned that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) suspects the attacker is an Afghan national admitted during Biden’s controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
“This individual was flown into our country by the Biden administration in September 2021,” Trump stated. “There was no oversight on who was entering. His entry status was extended through legislation signed by President Biden, marking a catastrophic decision by what I believe is the worst administration in our nation’s history.”
The president further called for the vetting of individuals brought in from Afghanistan during that time period.
As Breitbart News reported, “Three people were shot, including two National Guardsmen, in Washington, DC, Wednesday afternoon, leading to a lockdown at the White House.”
WJLA reported that the alleged shooter is in custody.
The Associated Press noted that the condition of the injured Guardsmen is not known. The Joint DC Task Force confirmed the incident occurred “in the vicinity of the White House.”
The New York Times later reported that the shooting occurred near “the entrance to the Farragut West Metro Station,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth calling the act “cowardly,” adding that it will “only stiffen our resolve to ensure that we make Washington D.C. safe and beautiful.”
