==== 🧭 What authorities are doing now ====
* The investigation is being led by FBI together with other federal and local agencies. Officials have described the shooting as an “assault on a federal officer / guard” and a matter of national security.

* The suspect remains hospitalized under heavy guard; it has not been confirmed whether he will be charged with first-degree murder or other charges⁠ — prosecutors indicated charges could change depending on victims’ outcomes.

* There is scrutiny on the broader deployment of National Guard personnel in D.C. — critics argue the presence of armed soldiers in public spaces carries risks; supporters say the attack underscores the threats such deployments were meant to deter.

If you like — I can also pull up a timeline of what has happened publicly (when the suspect arrived in the U.S., when he was resettled, moves across the country, the shooting, arrest, etc.) — that can help clarify the sequence of events.
