Sarah Beckstrom, WV National Guard shooting victim, is not expected to survive. [View all]

I apologize that I can only find this information on Facebook.

The father of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom has now revealed that doctors do not expect her to survive her injuries. Speaking from her bedside, Gary Beckstrom said his daughter has a mortal wound and that recovery is not possible. Beckstrom said he is holding her hand as she fights for her life.

Sarah Beckstrom, just twenty years old, was ambushed alongside twenty four year old Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe of the West Virginia National Guard. Both were shot in Washington, D.C. only 800 yards from the White House. Wolfe remains in critical condition.

Beckstrom’s father said the family is preparing for the worst and that they are praying for a miracle. The severity of both soldiers’ injuries continues to shape how charges will proceed in federal court.
