A 29-year-old Afghan national has been identified as the suspect in Wednesday's deadly shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington D.C. According to multiple law enforcement officials, Rahmanullah Lakanwal is the individual under investigation.
Details about the attack are still emerging, but it appears that a handgun was used in the incident. Authorities have yet to release further information on the motive behind the shooting or the circumstances surrounding the event.
Lakanwal, the suspect, has been linked to the crime scene through various sources, including law enforcement officials who have spoken with CBS News. The FBI's involvement is also confirmed, with a retired assistant special agent providing analysis for the investigation.
Further details and updates on the case will likely be released in due course as authorities continue their inquiry into the incident.

... 29-year-old Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal is the prime suspect in this deadly shooting 
. According to reports, there were only two victims - both National Guardsmen 
. This whole thing still feels super sketchy, motive and all that... authorities are being pretty tight-lipped about it 
.
, but we're still waiting on more info. FBI's getting in on this case too, which is expected 
. The most interesting part? Apparently law enforcement officials have spoken to Lakanwal with CBS News 
. Can't help but wonder what went down here... crime scene pics are already going viral 
, looks super gruesome. We'll keep waiting for more updates on this one 
.
. Not sure if that has anything to do with this case or not... but an interesting side note nonetheless 
.
.
And how did we even find out who the suspect was so quickly? That's some crazy detective work, I'll give 'em that... 
But at the end of the day, 2 lives lost is 2 too many. My heart goes out to the families of those Guardsmen 
The fact that a 29-year-old Afghan national is the suspect is just a weird coincidence or a setup, IDK.
. And now, it's like, 'Hey, someone from your country is doing bad stuff in our country' 
️. Seriously though, my thoughts are with the families of those two Guardsmen who got shot 
. I keep thinking about the victims' families and loved ones who are going through such a tough time right now. 
Like, what's even the motivation behind this kind of thing? Is it something about being wronged or feeling targeted? I hope we can get some answers soon so we can all feel safe again 
. And I'm glad that authorities are taking this seriously and investigating – I know it won't bring back our heroes, but at least they'll try to figure out what happened. 
this is just so senseless... i mean, what's going on with the world right now? one minute you're living your life, the next minute there's violence and tragedy everywhere 
it's like we're not even connected anymore
. What's wrong with our society that we're so quick to label people based on their nationality instead of actually knowing what drove them to do something so heinous? 
. FBI on board, so fingers crossed they can crack this one 
. I'm not saying anything bad about Lakanwal yet, but you have to wonder what could've driven someone to do something like that 
. And now the FBI is involved, so I guess we'll get more info eventually 
. But let's all just take a deep breath and hope the investigation finds out who did this and why 
It's 2025, for crying out loud! The FBI involvement is pretty obvious, but still no word on the motive... that's what everyone wants to know. And what about the victim's families? When are we going to get some real information about them? This platform always prioritizes the suspect over the victims... 
We gotta ask ourselves if our borders are secure enough, especially with all these refugees coming in from Afghanistan. Is this guy a lone wolf or part of something bigger?
