President Donald Trump addressed the nation after three people were shot, including two National Guardsmen, in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
The president said the attack, reportedly committed by an Afghanistan national brought into the country under Joe Biden in 2021, was a “crime against our nation.”
“This heinous assault was an act of evil and act of hatred and an act of terror,” the president said. “It was a crime against our entire nation. It was a crime against humanity. Americans tonight are with those two West Virginian National Guard and their families.”
The president further pledged that the “animal” who committed the crime will be brought to justice.
