President Donald Trump said on Nov. 30 that he plans to honor the two National Guard members who were shot in Washington last week and that he had invited their parents to the White House.

West Virginia National Guard members Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe were shot on Nov. 26 in what authorities say was an ambush by an Afghan national near the White House. Beckstrom died from her injuries on Nov. 27, while Wolfe is still in critical condition.
