India, Nov. 27 -- In an attack that shook Washington DC, two soldiers of the West Virginia National Guard were shot just blocks away from the White House on Wednesday. The suspect has been taken into the custody.

Both the soldiers are in hospital and remain in critical condition, said Federal Bureau of Investigation chief Kash Patel and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser during a press conference.

United States President Donald Trump was not present in DC at the time of the shooting. He was in Florida ahead of Thanksgiving.
