Live updates: Suspect identified as 2 National Guard members remain in critical condition after targeted shooting in DC
Andrew Wolfe’s neighbors said the shooting of the 24-year-old Martinsburg, West Virginia native in Washington, DC, this week hit close to home.
Michael Langone told CNN that he’s lived next to Wolfe for about two years, and described him as a “great guy” who would “give the shirt off of his back to somebody.”
“We always looked out for each other. Best neighbor you could ask for really,” he said, adding, “it really caught us off guard, really close to home.”
Wolfe, along with 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, were shot yesterday while deployed on National Guard duty in the nation’s capital. They remain in critical condition, according to federal authorities.
Langone said the shooting was unimaginable for the close-knit community. “We haven’t had any issues, and we’re blessed to have him as a neighbor, and I just hope his family is doing okay,” he said.
Tina Gesford, another neighbor, called Wolfe a “positive, good kid” and emphasized the fear the shooting has instilled in the community.
“It’s scary thinking that one of our people is down there getting hurt. You know, especially somebody that works hard and goes to work every day and he gets hurt like that,” she told CNN.
