One victim was young woman who volunteered to work Thanksgiving, Bondi says

One of the West Virginia National Guard members shot in Washington, DC, was female, Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

Bondi told Fox News on Thursday that one of the victims was a “young woman” who had volunteered to work in the nation’s capital over the Thanksgiving holiday.

“She volunteered, as did many of those guardsmen and women, so other people could be home with their families, yet now their families are in hospital rooms with them while they are fighting for their lives,” she said.
