National Guard D.C. Shooting Suspect is Alive, for now...

The suspect in the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., on November 26, 2025, is not dead. Authorities, including the Metropolitan Police Department and Department of Homeland Security, have confirmed that the suspect is in custody and alive, though injured (with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds) and transported to a hospital for treatment. President Trump described the suspect as "severely wounded" in a Truth Social post but indicated they would "pay a very steep price," implying survival and prosecution. No official updates report the suspect's death, and real-time social media reports from sources like DC Police and eyewitness accounts align with this status. The investigation remains ongoing.
