Suspect of attack on guards in the US has isolated himself in recent years

Rahmanullah has not been functional as a person, father and provider since March last year. He quit his job that month and his behavior changed drastically Email sent to the Committee

Suspect made sudden long trips. “This quickly progressed into week- or two-long ‘manic’ episodes in which he takes the family car and drives non-stop,” the email detailed.

Lakanwal also had periods of neglect in caring for her children. On some occasions, when his partner left him with the children to visit relatives, they did not bathe, did not change their clothes and did not eat properly.

American Committee for Refugees and Immigrants says it visited the suspect’s family in March 2024. The community, however, did not receive any further updates on the matter and was left with the impression that the man refused help.

Defender says he was stunned to learn of the crime. On condition of anonymity, he told the agency that he could not reconcile the violence with the memory of Lakanwal playing with his young children. The leader cooperates with the FBI in the investigation.

Remember the case

Guards were the target of attack on Wednesday (26). “(The shooter) raised his arm with a firearm and fired at the National Guard,” said Jeffrey Carroll, executive assistant for the Washington Metropolitan Police Department.
