🔗 Share this article Trump Invites Relatives of Attacked Guard Members to White House President Donald Trump revealed on the weekend that he has extended an invitation the relatives of a Guard member fatally shot last week to visit the presidential home. He mentioned that he spoke to her family and they were “deeply grieving”. Details on the Heartbreaking Incident Soldier Sarah Beckstrom, 20, was killed in a violent incident on Wednesday in DC. Her comrade, Staff Sgt Andrew Wolfe, twenty-four years old, is still in the hospital in critical condition. Memorials across the state have occurred in their memory. Presidential Call The commander-in-chief explained he’s discussed a visit to the White House for the parents of both soldiers of the West Virginia Guard. “I told them: ‘When you’re able, because that’s a tough thing, visit the White House. We’re going to pay tribute to her,” Trump addressed reporters. “And in the same way with him, no matter the outcome.” Community Support Mourners gathered over the past few days at the high school in the state to pay respects to Beckstrom. Both she and Wolfe had been serving with the state guard as part of Trump’s government program to assist public safety in Washington DC. Paying Tribute to the Soldier “Sarah was the type of pupil that teachers hoped for. She carried herself with inner fortitude, a contagious smile and a upbeat demeanor that lifted those around her,” Jarrod Hankins, the principal of her previous school, informed the Associated Press. “She was kind, considerate and always willing to assist people.” Memorial plans for Sarah are still being arranged. Legal Steps and Policy Changes Law enforcement have charged a twenty-nine-year-old suspect with a charge of homicide and two counts of attempted murder while armed. The tragedy led the Trump administration to pause asylum applications and halt granting visas to owners of passports from Afghanistan. Status of Andrew Wolfe Andrew Wolfe, a resident of Martinsburg, started his military career in early 2019 and is a 2019 graduate of Musselman high school, according to the AP. He is still undergoing care and is “battling to survive”, the state’s leader Morrisey said on a news program. The state’s top lawyer the attorney general stated on a news show that she planned to meet with the family. Memory of Beckstrom Sarah, from Summersville, graduated from Webster County high school in 2023 and enlisted soon after, working as a law enforcement officer with honor, as stated by the West Virginia National Guard. “She had a lot of compassion and she certainly had courage,” the governor told the gathering at the vigil. “Though her time lasted far too short, she has created a legacy that’s going to endure.”
