An Afghani immigrant, granted asylum.

That’s the story now.

From the news:


BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Federal sources tell KOMO News that the suspect who allegedly shot two National Guard soldiers on Wednesday afternoon had a connection to Bellingham in Washington state.

The suspect in the shooting has been identified by law enforcement as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, according to multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation.

Lakanwal is believed to be from Afghanistan and came to the United States in 2021 under the Biden administration, the sources said. Lakanwal applied for asylum in 2024 and was granted asylum in April 2025, under the Trump administration, according to three law enforcement sources.

No. Still believe he's typical insecure person/incel looking for 15 minutes. As much as we want him to be a white winger Silent Type Nov 2025 #15
I'm not saying he's a rightwinger or not TommyT139 Nov 2025 #17
Technically you win. To me incels are just insecure/pitiful people who will kill because of it. He qualifies, IMO, Silent Type Nov 2025 #19
