New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is under fire for his response to the killing of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, a 20-year-old member of the West Virginia National Guard who was shot near the White House.
Governor Patrick Morrisey (R-WV) issued a proclamation requesting that all state residents observe a moment of silence and prayer in honor of Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe and Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, the two National Guard members attacked this week.
Two members of the National Guard were shot Wednesday just blocks from the White House, officials confirmed, prompting an immediate lockdown of government buildings in Washington, D.C.
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) announced that he will deploy the California National Guard and California Volunteers for what his office described as a "humanitarian mission."
