Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, was reportedly identified as the gunman who shot two National Guard members in Washington, not far from the White House, in what the FBI is said to be probing as a terror attack.

Speaking to the nation on Wednesday night, U.S. President Donald Trump said that the gunman shot the two victims at “point-blank range” in a “monstrous, ambush-style attack just steps from the White House.”

Trump called the attack an “act of evil and act of hatred and act of terror.”
