Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, has announced upgraded charges against a man accused of shooting two National Guard members. The charges are now first-degree murder after the death of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. Beckstrom, 20, and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, were critically injured in Wednesday's shooting. President Donald Trump announced Thursday evening that Beckstrom had died. Authorities say Rahmanullah Lakanwal drove across the country to carry out an “ambush-style†attack. Pirro mentioned it's too soon to determine the suspect’s motives.
