Trump claims he will nullify executive orders Joe Biden signed by autopen

One United States National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, has died, and another remains in a critical condition after a shooting in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, which has triggered a large-scale federal investigation.

Authorities have identified and arrested one suspect, named as Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal.
President Donald Trump said he will “permanently pause” migration from all “Third World countries” in order to allow the US system to fully recover.

He also stated that he will end all federal benefits and subsidies to “noncitizens”, adding that he plans to “denaturalise migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any foreign national who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western civilisation”.

Here is what we know about the shooting, the attacker, and what’s next:

What happened in Washington, DC?
Police say a lone suspect opened fire on a National Guard member at about 2:15pm local time (19:15 GMT) on Wednesday.

The suspect, who was also shot during the confrontation, was taken to hospital for treatment and remains under police custody.

“It appears to be a lone gunman who raised a firearm and ambushed these members of the National Guard,” Jeffery Carroll, executive assistant chief, told reporters.

According to a CNN report, the suspect walked up to three National Guard members who appeared unaware of him until he opened fire. He shot one guard, then another, before standing over the first victim and appearing to attempt another shot. At that point, the third guard returned fire.
