A member of the Air National Guard is on the mend after he was critically injured in an targeted attack last month in Washington DC. The parents of Andrew Wolfe, twenty-four, say "the injury to his head is gradually improving and that he's beginning to 'regain his familiar appearance,'" stated West Virginia Governor the governor. The family anticipates the Air Force staff sergeant to be in intensive treatment for the next two to three weeks, and they feel optimistic about his recovery, said the governor. The serviceman was one of two state guardsmen injured by gunfire when a shooter opened fire in proximity to the White House on 26 November. His colleague, 20-year-old his counterpart, died from her injuries. "Our request remains for all West Virginians and Americans for their thoughts and prayers!" Morrisey declared. The governor attended a vigil on Friday evening for the injured soldier at Musselman High School in his hometown, where the serviceman was once a student. A pastor at the vigil shared a message from the guardsman's mother and father, Jason and Melody Wolfe. "We know that there is a difficult journey to go," they wrote, according to local news outlet Metro News. "However our faith keeps us hopeful. We remain grateful for the well-wishes and the encouragement from people all over the world." Staff Sgt Andrew Wolfe. Previously, the state official said Staff Sgt Wolfe had acknowledged medical staff with a positive gesture and was capable of move his toes. Police have charged the suspected shooter, an Afghan national named the suspect, with premeditated homicide and assault with intent to kill. Before coming to the US in 2021, he was once a counterterrorism soldier in a paramilitary group that operated alongside US forces in the South Asian nation. Staff Sgt Wolfe was one of two thousand National Guard members whom the former president dispatched to the nation's capitol in last summer as part of his policy initiative in urban centers. In the aftermath of the incident, the former president said he wanted another 500 military personnel sent to the nation's capital. The Trump administration has also cited the shooting as a reason for further restrictive policies. They have cancelled all citizenship ceremonies for immigrants from 19 countries that were part of a travel ban announced over the recent season, among them Afghanistan.
