President Trump calls the shooting of two National Guard members,
blocks from the White House yesterday and act of terror.
Both are in critical condition.
The Department of Homeland Security says the suspect is a 29-year-old immigrant from Afghanistan who entered the U.S.
after the Taliban took control of the country and that he's in custody.
Trump addressed the nation last night.
We must now re-examine every single alien.
who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden,
and we must take all necessary measures to ensure the removal of any alien from any country who does not belong here or add benefit to our country.
Trump says he's mobilizing an additional 500 troops to the nation's capital,
so far there's no word on a motive.
More than 50 people are dead,
hundreds remain missing after a fire broke out at a housing complex in Hong Kong yesterday.
