A servicemember of the Air National Guard is showing improvement after he was critically injured in an ambush-style shooting last month in Washington DC. The parents of the 24-year-old soldier, twenty-four, say "the injury to his head is slowly healing and that he's starting to 'regain his familiar appearance,'" said the state's chief executive Patrick Morrisey. The soldier's relatives anticipates the Air Force staff sergeant to be in acute care for the coming fortnight, and they feel optimistic about his progress, said the governor. Staff Sgt Wolfe was one of a pair of West Virginia National Guard members shot when a gunman began shooting not far from the presidential residence on 26 November. His colleague, 20-year-old his counterpart, died from her injuries. "We continue to ask all West Virginians and Americans for their thoughts and prayers!" the governor said. The governor was present at a candlelight gathering on last Friday night for the injured soldier at a local secondary school in his hometown, where the serviceman was once a pupil. A pastor at the event read a statement from the soldier's parents, Jason and Melody Wolfe. "It is clear to us that there is a long road to go," they expressed, according to local news outlet outlets. "But our belief keeps us hopeful. We remain grateful for the prayers and the support from people all over the globe." Sergeant Andrew Wolfe. Previously, the state official said Staff Sgt Wolfe had responded to a nurse with a positive gesture and was able to move his toes. Police have charged the alleged gunman, an Afghan national named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, with premeditated homicide and attempted murder. Prior to his arrival to the United States in two years ago, he was once a counterterrorism soldier in a paramilitary group that operated alongside US forces in the South Asian nation. Staff Sgt Wolfe was one of 2,000 militia personnel whom President Donald Trump dispatched to the Washington DC in August as part of his immigration and crime-related crackdown in Democratic-led cities. Following the shooting, the former president said he desired an additional five hundred military personnel sent to the District of Columbia. The former presidential office has also cited the shooting as a justification for further immigration crackdown measures. They have cancelled all citizenship ceremonies for foreign nationals from 19 countries that were part of a travel ban implemented over the summer, including the suspect's home country.
