Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who came to US in 2021 withdrawal, ID’d as alleged terrorist gunman in shooting of 2 National Guard members in DC


The crazed gunman who shot two National Guard troops in a possible terror attack near the White House Wednesday has been identified as a 29-year-old Afghan national who came to the US during the chaotic 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal was allegedly lying in wait before he rounded the corner near the Farragut West Metro Station in Northwest DC around 2:15 p.m., then opened fire, striking a female guard in the chest before shooting her in the head, according to law enforcement sources.

Lakanwal, who entered the country under Operation Allies Welcome and resettled in Bellingham, Washington, then allegedly fired at and struck the second guard — until a third guard stationed nearby rushed to the area and took him down, the sources said.

The two armed soldiers, who were patrolling the streets when the suspect launched his rampage, were taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, authorities said.

So... We now know the shooter was an Afghan national who came here in 2021 as a result of the collapse of Afghanistan, which was architected by Trump and Pompeo via the deal they made with the Taliban behind everyone's backs.


The result of Biden's catastrophic withdrawal - orchestrated by the Biden administration with Jake Sullivan at the helm - without the approval of the generals who gave other guidance which was totally disregarded.
Then, the idiots in charge at the State Dept. allowed any Tom, Dick or Harry who got onto the plane to get a free flight out and welcomed to the US under “Operation Allies Welcome” when a large portion of those who made it onto the planes were not allies at all. Poorly vetted.
This guy was one of those.

MAGAs keep repeating this stupid lie to cover up the fact that it was Trump who negotiated that disastrous deal with the Taliban.

I also think the people sending untrained non-professionals to do police work in a city are to blame. As well as the lack of gun control.


I also just missed this. I was traveling around DC today with family via scooters. I exchanged pleasantries with several of the national guardsmen. They were just standing around minding their own business, perhaps a bit bored- looking tbh. They are all so young. And unless they are stationed in SE, they aren’t doing police work here.


And this is why none of them should be here. They should all be home doing their regular jobs and with their families and not being targets for terrorists in our city.


I disagree. They have done a lot of good all over the country.

Obviously Biden admin thought it wasn’t disastrous or they would have scrapped it.

Nothing justifies this kind of violence, but I wonder if he was motivated by the recent deportations of Afghans who assisted us in our 20 year misadventure over there and were promised safe haven here in the USA only to have Trump send them back to be slaughtered by the Taliban.


His social media is still up. He clearly never assimilated. I'm surprised at the report he's been here since 2021 because he makes it look like he never left Afghanistan.


Why do immigrants have to assimilate?


Why immigrate if you have zero intentions to assimilate?



Define assimilation. At what point is someone assimilated?


When they can eat McDonalds for breakfast lunch and dinner. Yeah, didn't think any of the folks on here can either. -different poster

Trump granted this shooter asylum in April specifically because he claimed to be concerned about the Afghans in the US after "Biden had left them behind"

But its Biden's fault, right?

They couldn't scrap it because Trump and Pompeo had negotiated a strict cut off date before US troops would no longer be subject to a cease fire from the Taliban.

Let's also blame McCain for weakening DC gun laws AFTER voters voted for additional gun control measures, and also Trump (again!) for making it easier for those suffering from mental illness to purchase firearms. Also, if he didn't have National Guard in DC illegally, they wouldn't have been shot.
