Governor Morrisey now saying on X that he is receiving 'conflicting reports' about the condition of Guardsmen.

Secretary Hegseth [press conference]: We will never back down. We will secure our capital. We will secure our cities; in fact, this happened just steps away from the White House. It will not stand. And that's why President Trump has asked me, and I will ask the secretary of the Army, National Guard, to add five hundred additional troops, National Guardsmen, to Washington, D.C. This will only stiffen our resolve to ensure that we make Washington, D.C. safe and beautiful.
Director Patel [press conference]: They are in critical condition…since this is an assault on a federal law enforcement officer, this will be treated, at the federal level, as an assault on a federal law enforcement officer.
DC Police: At this time, there is no indication that there is any other suspect.
Mayor Bowser: What we know is this is a targeted shooting.
DC Police: Both of the individuals, the Guard members, they are in critical condition at the local hospital being treated. At this point, we have no other suspects. We have reviewed video from the area. It appears to be a lone gunman that raised a firearm and ambushed these members of the National Guard.
JALISCO, MEXICO: "Search groups in Jalisco have uncovered more than 400 bags containing human remains in areas surrounding Akron Stadium since 2022. With less than 200 days before the start of the 2026 World Cup in North America, one of Mexico's host cities is facing a serious problem in the areas surrounding its stadium. According to recent reports, search groups in the state of Jalisco have found hundreds of bags containing human remains near Akron Stadium, home of Chivas de Guadalajara, one of the country's most prominent soccer teams.
"We are now at about 456 bags, more or less, and all of this is near Akron Stadium, which is a stadium that will host World Cup games. Unfortunately, it is painful that a World Cup will be held here while there is so much evil," Servin García said.
Beyond Las Agujas, more discoveries have been reported in other areas of Zapopan and Tlaquepaque. Servin García said 130 bodies were recovered in a cemetery near the stadium, and authorities found 89 bags in the communities of Nextipac and Plan de la Noria between 2018 and 2022.
Infobae México reported that search collectives such as Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco, which uncovered cases like the one in Teuchitlán where organized crime groups used a ranch to train and kill people, have accused the Jalisco government of a lack of transparency and support. Members say authorities do not fully report all clandestine graves found by search groups or by municipal or state authorities."
