VIDEO: DC Guardsman Fires on Afghan Terrorist

Disturbing new footage shows the moment a hero National Guard member opened fire on the suspected Afghan terrorist — just moments after the alleged gunman ambushed two troops in a broad daylight attack.

The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, could be seen brazenly wielding his gun as he fired rounds at the National Guard members in Washington, DC, on Thanksgiving eve, according to a series of live photos obtained by the Wall Street Journal.

At one point, a male guard can be seen running down the street as he frantically tries to reload his own weapon.

Moments later, images captured by a witness showed the two guards — Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Andrew Wolfe, 24 — slumped over on the street.

Beckstrom tragically died of her injuries on Thursday night, while Wolfe is still clinging to life.

Police confirmed one Guard member had exchanged gunfire with the shooter amid the chaos.

Troops were then able to run over and pin the gunman down as he was taken into custody.

The suspect, who was treated for non-life-threatening wounds, was initially facing charges of assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence over the bloodshed.
