Tragic news has emerged.
President Donald Trump has just confirmed the heartbreaking death of Sarah Beckstrom, a member of the National Guard, who succumbed to her injuries following a terrorist attack in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. She was one of the two members targeted in this violent incident.
Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., offered some insight into Beckstrom’s background in a post on X:
Beckstrom was merely 20 years old at the time of her passing.
Previously, we reported comments from Gary Beckstrom, Sarah’s father, to the New York Times. He shared the devastating news that his daughter had sustained a fatal injury and was not expected to survive.
The Times also mentioned that while the family of the other victim, Wolfe, has not spoken publicly, a source close to them has requested prayers and support on their behalf.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom of the National Guard — a hero who volunteered to serve DC on Thanksgiving for people she never met and gave the ultimate sacrifice. May she rest in peace. It is now time to avenge her death and secure justice.

Beckstrom was just 20 years old.
Earlier, we reported on how Ms. Beckstrom’s father, Gary, had shared with the New York Times that his daughter had suffered a mortal wound and was not expected to survive:
The father of Sarah Beckstrom, one of the wounded National Guard members, said his daughter was unlikely to recover. “I’m holding her hand right now,” Gary Beckstrom said when reached by phone. “She has a mortal wound. It’s not going to be a recovery.” He declined to talk further. Beckstrom and the other wounded Guard soldier, Andrew Wolfe, are in critical condition, officials have said.
The newspaper also noted that though Wolfe’s family has not given any interviews, someone who was at the house told reporters that they were asking for prayers.
Please remember to keep the victims and their families in your thoughts and prayers. Just an incredibly difficult time for them, and to have it happen during the holidays just makes it all the more painful and senseless.
