Wolfe is currently undergoing surgery and is in critical condition after Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, allegedly opened fire on him and a female National Guard member near the Farragut West Metro Station in Northwest DC.
“Please keep Andrew, his family, and all those affected in your thoughts. We will share updates as we receive them,” the post said.
The National Guardswoman, who was allegedly shot in the chest and head by the Afghan national, has not yet been identified.
