According to sources who spoke with ABC News, Lakanwal arrived in the United States from Afghanistan in September 2021. He later sought asylum in 2024 and was approved in April 2025, during the Trump administration.

In the wake of the shooter being identified as from Afghanistan, US Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it has halted requests from Afghan nationals.

WASHINGTON, DC – NOVEMBER 13: U.S. President Donald Trump listens as first lady Melania Trump speaks at a signing ceremony for the “Fostering the Future” executive order in the East Room of the White House on November 13, 2025 in Washington, DC. The executive order, championed by the first lady, works to expand opportunities for education, career development, housing and other resources for youth transitioning from foster care to adulthood.

The agency wrote on Twitter: “Effective immediately, processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols. The protection and safety of our homeland and of the American people remains our singular focus and mission.”

FBI director Kash Patel said the incident would be investigated at a federal level, while Pete Hegseth described the shooting as a “cowardly, dastardly act”, confirming that President Trump had ordered an additional 500 Guard troops to Washington.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this mindless attack.
