Details on the Heartbreaking Incident

Specialist Beckstrom, twenty years old, was killed in a violent incident on last Wednesday in DC.

Her comrade, Andrew Wolfe, twenty-four years old, is still in the hospital in critical condition.

Memorials across West Virginia have occurred in their honor.

Presidential Invitation

The commander-in-chief said he’s discussed a visit to the White House for the loved ones of both individuals of the West Virginia Guard.

“I told them: ‘When you’re ready, because that’s a hard experience, arrive at the White House. We’re going to honor Sarah,” the president addressed reporters. “And in the same way with him, no matter the outcome.”

Community Support

Mourners came together over the past few days at a local school in West Virginia to pay respects to Beckstrom.

Both they had been serving with the West Virginia National Guard as part of Trump’s federal initiative to support law enforcement in Washington DC.

Paying Tribute to Sarah Beckstrom

“Sarah was the type of pupil that teachers desired. She behaved with inner fortitude, a contagious smile and a upbeat demeanor that lifted people around her,” Jarrod Hankins, the head of Beckstrom’s previous school, stated to the media. “She was kind, caring and always willing to support those in need.”

Funeral details for Beckstrom are in the process of planning.

Judicial Measures and Government Revisions

Law enforcement have charged a twenty-nine-year-old Afghan national with one count of homicide and two counts of violent assault while carrying a weapon.
