Update: Sarah Beckstrom, only 20 years of age, who answered the call to serve her country, has died. This is so sad, tragic, and unnecessary. She was serving her country, on duty to protect Americans from monsters like her killer.
Sarah Beckstrom has died as a result of the wounds inflicted by the Afghan national who shot her and her fellow Guardsman.

Heartbreaking.
After 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom succumbed to her gunshot wound, her father released a statement pointing people to Christ.
“My baby girl has passed to glory… this has been a horrible tragedy.”

The monster who killed her will face the death penalty for First Degree murder.
Wounded National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, 20, is not expected to recover. Her father Gary told the New York Times, “I’m holding her hand right now. She has a mortal wound.”
“It’s not going to be a recovery.”
The NY Times Report
The father of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, who was critically wounded in Wednesday’s attack in Washington, D.C., said Thursday that his daughter is not expected to survive, The New York Times reported.
“I’m holding her hand right now,” Gary Beckstrom told the newspaper about his 20-year-old daughter, a Specialist in the National Guard. “She has a mortal wound. It’s not going to be a recovery.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi previously spoke about Beckstrom in an interview with Fox News, without naming her, saying: “She volunteered to work on Thanksgiving—working today, as did many other guardsmen and women so that other people could be at home with their families. Yet now their families are in hospital rooms with them, while they are fighting for their lives,” she added. “Everyone just pray today for these two soldiers.”
Andrew Wolfe is in critical condition.

This is a major PR loss for the left and the Seditious Six. But of course the media will buffer that. Recall how the media turned the Floyd death into a national disaster.
Trump announced her death a few hours ago!
We can pray for a miracle and be prepared to accept either a recovery or God saying it is her time. Just as important are prayers for her family, friends and fellow guard members. The same goes for Andrew Wolfe.
