WASHINGTON (AP) — Associated Press reports two West Virginia National Guard members who deployed to the nation’s capital were shot and killed Wednesday just blocks from the White House, the state’s governor said.

A suspect who was in custody was also shot and had wounds that were not believed to be life-threatening, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Gov. Patrick Morrisey confirmed the soldiers’ deaths in a social media post. “We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues,” he said.
