Vice President JD Vance called for prayers for the National Guard troops who were shot just blocks from the White House.
During remarks to U.S. troops at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, Vance said that officials do not know the motive and said the troops shot were in “pretty tough condition.” West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey later confirmed the troops, who were part of the West Virginia National Guard, had died.
“It's a somber reminder that soldiers, whether they're active duty reserve or National Guard, our soldiers, are the sword and the shield of the United States of America,” Vance said. “And as a person who goes into work every single day in that building and knows that there are a lot of people who wear the uniform of the United States Army, let me just say very personally, thank them for what they're doing. We're grateful to them.”
