A West Virginia National Guard member who was shot in a daytime attack in Washington, DC, remains in a serious condition but showed positive signs by giving a thumbs-up that he could hear a nurse’s question and wiggling his toes, West Virginia’s governor said.

Patrick Morrisey said the family of US Air Force Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, 24, has asked the public to pray for him. Another member of the West Virginia National Guard, US Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, was killed in the shooting.
