Two National Guard members shot just blocks from the White House

Two West Virginia National Guard members who deployed to the nation’s capital have been shot just blocks from the White House in a brazen act of violence.

The West Virginia governor initially said the troops had died Wednesday, but later walked back the statement to say his office was “receiving conflicting reports” about their condition.

The governor’s office did not immediately respond to questions about the attack and the condition of the troops.

A suspect who was in custody also was shot and had wounds that were not believed to be life-threatening. That's according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
