28th November 2025
The father of West Virginia National Guard soldier Sarah Beckstrom, one of the troops ambushed in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, said his daughter was unlikely to recover.
Gary Beckstrom told The New York Times by phone, “I’m holding her hand right now. She has a mortal wound. It’s not going to be a recovery.”
The Times reported that Gary Beckstrom declined to comment further.
Yeah, getting shot in the head by a Muslim can do that to you.
