Sarah Beckstrom — the National Guard member who was killed in Wednesday’s tragic shooting — was honored with a candlelight vigil, which left attendees in tears.
Members of the community and friends of Beckstrom gathered Friday in West Virginia, where Beckstrom was from … singing songs and saying prayers at the event.
Photos of Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe — the other National Guard member injured in the shooting — adorned the stage at the event.
One of Beckstrom’s classmates — a woman named Anna Fletcher — became visibly emotional at the event … breaking down in tears while her friends provided comfort.
As you know … Beckstrom and Wolfe were allegedly shot in Washington, D.C. by Rahmanullah Lakanwal — an Afghan national with ties to the CIA.
Lakanwal was shot and taken into custody by another member of the National Guard. He’s still in the hospital — and multiple reports say he’s expected to survive. Wolfe is reportedly “hanging on” … this as he remains in critical condition.
