Hours later, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe lay gravely wounded on a D.C. street, their uniforms soaked in blood, their futures suddenly uncertain.

Federal officials now weigh first-degree murder charges as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth moves to flood the capital with even more troops. In the middle of it all are two young soldiers, suspended between duty and tragedy, while a stunned country watches and waits.
