In a social media post on Wednesday, Governor Patrick Morrisey wrote that he remains in contact with federal officials in the United States capital as an investigation into the shooting unfolds.

“It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries,” Morrisey wrote.

“These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country,” he added. “West Virginia will never forget their service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability for this horrific act.”
