Dramatic eyewitness video has emerged showing the part of the brazen daylight ambush attack that left one National Guard member dead in Washington, D.C., and another fighting for his life.

The footage, taken by an eyewitness in a passing vehicle and obtained by the Wall Street Journal, shows a man in dark clothing with what appears to be a revolver in his hand, as two Guardsmen scramble for cover.

One Guardsman can then be seen sprinting around a corner down a street and returning fire. Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, has been named as a suspect.

The horrific scene, which took place about three blocks north of the White House, captures Lakanwal raising his arm. Seconds later, he opened fire on two West Virginia National Guard members, the outlet reported.

The video then briefly captures the fallen troops lying on the sidewalk. The incident, which has rocked the nation, unfolded on 17th Street NW near Farragut West Metro Station at around 2:15 p.m.

The shooter fired off 10 to 15 rounds with a .357 revolver, according to federal charging documents cited by Reuters.

Police said that one of the Guardsmen returned fire, hitting the suspect and ending the ambush.

Specialist Sarah Beckstrom died from her injuries on Thursday while Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition.  

Lakanwal entered the United States in September 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, the Biden administration’s Afghan evacuation and resettlement program. Prosecutors say he traveled across the country shortly before the attack and had no prior criminal record.

He now faces charges including first-degree murder and two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed. Attorney General Pam Bondi has said the Department of Justice intends to seek the death penalty.

Beckstrom and Wolfe are members of the West Virginia National Guard, which was deployed to the nation’s capital to tackle crime in the city following an executive order from President Donald Trump earlier this year.

Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., said Saturday told "FOX & Friends Weekend" on Saturday that Wolfe is "hanging on," adding that his family is calling for prayer. 

"His father is a deputy sheriff in the county next to mine and Andy wanted to follow in [those] footsteps and serve his nation as a National Guardsman," Moore told "FOX & Friends Weekend."

"Andy is hanging on. And he is a fighter and his family has told me that time and time again, he is a fighter," Moore added. "But above all what they want here is for everybody to continue to pray. I believe in the power of prayer and I can promise you his parents believe in the power of prayer... Please keep praying."

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey also told "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Saturday that, "Andrew is fighting for his life right now, and his family and all of his friends, they're trying to harvest as many prayers as possible from all across the country, all across the globe, to help him recover."

Morrisey said Wolfe's condition, as of Saturday, "remains very serious."

"West Virginia cares very deeply about its Guard. And there's just a proud tradition of West Virginians who step up from military service. So when something like this happens, it's really a gut punch to the communities," Morrisey added. 

"Most importantly, we need justice to be served. That's critical. I think West Virginians are counting on that. Americans are counting on that," he told Fox News.

Stanford football has brought in a familiar face to become its next head coach.

The school announced Friday that it had hired Tavita Pritchard, who played quarterback for Stanford from 2006 to 2009, to be its next head coach. The 38-year-old is currently the Washington Commanders quarterbacks coach and will begin his role as head coach immediately after the team’s game against the Denver Broncos. 

Pritchard is taking over for interim head coach Frank Reich, who replaced Troy Taylor in the spring after Taylor was dismissed for allegations of bullying and belittling staff.

Pritchard was hired by the man who replaced him at quarterback at Stanford: Andrew Luck. Luck is the school’s general manager and said that Pritchard is the right person to lead Stanford into its next great era. 

"Winning in college football today requires a leader of men who can build and motivate teams, recruit future stars, and develop and connect with talent," Luck said in a statement.

"Tavita Pritchard is exactly the right head coach at the right time to help us build on the foundation of this season and lead Stanford football to its next great era. Coach Pritchard is a culture builder, a teacher of football of the highest caliber, and a humble yet determined servant leader who is committed to the success of Stanford’s student-athletes."

"I could not be more excited to welcome Tavita, Caroline and their family back to campus."

Pritchard began his coaching career in 2010 at Stanford as a graduate assistant and worked his way up the ranks to become the team’s offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach in 2022 before departing for the NFL. 

Pritchard’s short stint in the NFL was impactful, as Commanders head coach Dan Quinn offered high praise for his former assistant. 

"Tavita will be a fantastic head coach, and I believe he will be especially effective at Stanford. Players gravitate to him, and he quickly earned their respect and mine," Quinn said in a statement. 

"Tavita is smart, collaborative, diligent and he brings people together. He is the perfect coach to build a winning program in today’s college football landscape."

Pritchard will be tasked with turning around a team that is 4-7 this season, and has not had more than four wins in a season since 2018, when it went 9-4.
