The president is asking Americans to join together in prayer for wounded National Guard member Andrew Wolfe.
According to Fox News, Trump said that over the weekend, he communicated with the families of Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, two members of the National Guard who were shot in Washington, D.C., in the middle of last week. Beckstrom died from the shooting, and Wolfe is currently “fighting for his life.”
Trump spoke with various news outlets on Air Force One, where he said that: “Andrew is fighting for his life, and his parents are unbelievably great people, highly religious people.” He also noted the family’s request that “They’re praying, and they want everybody to pray for Andrew, and he has a chance to make it.”
The president also discussed how he plans to honor Sarah and Andrew, regardless of whether Andrew survives.
The believed shooter is 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who is from Afghanistan.
As Americans witnessed this tragedy, this is the time to unite in prayer, for both Andrew’s recovery and for Sarah’s family during this time of immense grief.
