MOURNING THE LOSS OF U.S. ARMY SPECIALIST SARAH BECKSTROM AND PRAYING FOR U.S. AIR FORCE STAFF SERGEANT ANDREW WOLFE

I’m heartbroken that U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom has passed away after being senselessly shot by a vicious criminal in our nation’s capital.

She was just 20 years old with her entire life ahead of her.

We also continue to pray for U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe who remains in critical condition and is just 24 years old.

Our prayers are with their families and loved ones at this awful time.
