Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday that the suspect in the National Guardsmen shooting in Washington, D.C. could receive the death penalty.
Two National Guardsmen were critically injured after a suspect, identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, opened fire on them on Wednesday. Bondi said the suspect’s charges will be based on the victims’ prognosis, adding that the guardsmen volunteered to work on Thanksgiving so others could enjoy the holiday.
“Just pray, everyone pray today for these two soldiers, these two guardsmen, the man and woman, but if something happens, I will tell you right now, I will tell you early, we will do everything in our power to seek the death penalty against that monster who should not have been in our country,” Bondi
