美国司法部表示，将寻求对一名男子判处死刑，该男子被控于11月在白宫附近枪击两名国民警卫队成员，并致其中一人死亡。
该男子拉赫曼拉·拉坎瓦尔（Rahmanullah Lakanwal）在周三联邦法院首次出庭时，对包括一级谋杀在内的九项指控均不认罪。
当法官阿米特·梅塔（Amit Mehta）追问检察官是否会提出可判处死刑的额外指控时，检察官含糊其辞，最终告诉法官他们正在提起“可判处死刑的指控”。
根据法庭文件，拉坎瓦尔于11月底从华盛顿州前往首都，随后伏击了两名军官，用一把短鼻左轮手枪向两人头部开枪。
法庭记录称，另一名国民警卫队成员听到枪声后，拔出配枪向拉坎瓦尔射击，使其倒地并迅速被捕。
头部中枪的国民警卫队成员莎拉·贝克斯托姆于次日被宣布死亡。另一名成员安德鲁·沃尔夫（Andrew Wolfe）仍在康复中。
拉坎瓦尔曾在阿富汗为中央情报局（CIA）工作超过十年，美军撤离该国后他于2021年来到美国。

法庭文件显示，拉坎瓦尔曾被优步（Uber）禁止服务，在枪击事件发生前约两个月未被雇佣，当时有人给他一把据称被盗的手枪，他称自己需要枪支保护自己开优步和来福车的工作。
最初，他想要一把可装30发弹匣的枪支，当拿到这把手枪时，他问“只有五发吗？”
检察官还指控称，在获得这把被盗枪支的同一天，拉坎瓦尔前往一家体育用品店购买了一盒子弹。两小时后，他据称在谷歌地图上搜索“华盛顿特区”，次日又搜索了白宫地址。
十天后，他据称在距离白宫两个街区的地方枪击了两名国民警卫队成员。
此案下次听证会定于5月初举行。

The Justice Department said it will seek the death penalty for the man accused of shooting two National Guard members, and killing one of them, near the White House in November.
The man, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, pleaded not guilty to the nine charges against him — including first-degree murder — during his initial appearance in federal court Wednesday.
When Judge Amit Mehta pressed prosecutors on whether they would be pursuing additional charges that would allow them to seek the death penalty for Lakanwal, prosecutors waffled, eventually telling the judge they are pursuing “death-eligible charges.”

According to court documents, Lakanwal traveled from Washington state to the capital city in late November before he ambushed the two officers, shooting them both in the head with a snub-nosed revolver.
Another National Guard member, having heard the shots, pulled out his service weapon and shot Lakanwal, who fell to the ground and was quickly detained, court records say.
Sarah Beckstrom, one of the National Guard members who was shot in the back of the head, was pronounced dead the next day. The other member, Andrew Wolfe, is still in recovery.
Lakanwal worked with the CIA for over a decade in Afghanistan before the US military withdrew from the country. He came to the US in 2021.

According to court records, Lakanwal had been given the pistol, which prosecutors say was stolen, by an unnamed person after Lakanwal said he needed a firearm to protect himself during his job driving for Uber and Lyft.
Investigators say that, at the time, Lakanwal had been banned by Uber and had not been employed for around two months before the shooting.
Initially, he wanted a firearm that could hold as much as a 30-round magazine, court documents say, and when given the revolver, asked “only five rounds?”
Prosecutors also allege that on the same day that he was given the stolen firearm, Lakanwal went to a sporting goods store and purchased a box of bullets. Two hours later he allegedly searched “Washington, DC” in Google maps and, the next day, searched for the address of the White House.
Ten days later he allegedly shot the two National Guards members two blocks from the White House.
His next hearing in the case is scheduled for early May.
