An Afghan national who is in the United States illegally is in custody after shooting two members of the National Guard in Washington, DC. Yesterday President Trump announced the sad news that West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom had died:
.@POTUS announces that U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom of Summersville, West Virginia, one of the National Guardsmen savagely attacked yesterday in Washington, D.C., has just passed away.

The terrorist who pulled the trigger will now be charged with first degree murder, according to U.S. Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro.
For this story, the actual headline should be this: Man in US illegally shoots two National Guard members amid Democrat and 'Seditious Six' rhetoric demonizing ICE, the Guard and Trump.
What are we getting instead? Well, at least in part the spin is something that Norm Macdonald could have seen coming:

They couldn't be more predictable. Meanwhile let's not forget who the real victims were here, all while some "journalists" try to change the subject.
Can you maybe check in on the actual victims of this attack and their families?

So basically we’re in for several weeks of the Norm Macdonald 9/11 meme. https://t.co/csXRFJVM7m

That's what it's looking like.
