Two West Virginia National Guard troops remain in critical condition a day after they were shot just blocks from the White House. Authorities have identified the shooter as an Afghan native who previously worked with the CIA.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe laid blame on former President Joe Biden, claiming his withdrawal from Afghanistan led to the shooters entry to the United States.
