Governor Gives Update on West Virginia Guardsman Hurt in DC Attack

A West Virginia National Guard member wounded in last week’s shooting in Washington is slowly healing, the state’s governor said Friday. Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe’s head wound is improving and that he is “beginning to look more like himself,” according to a statement from Wolfe’s parents.

Wolfe and Spc. Sarah Beckstrom were ambushed while patrolling a subway station near the White House on Nov. 26; Beckstrom died the next day.

A 29-year-old Afghan national has been charged with murder in the attack and has pleaded not guilty.
