A new update has emerged regarding one of the National Guard soldiers who was shot in Washington, D.C. yesterday. Twenty-four-year-old Andrew Wolfe is now recovering after undergoing emergency surgery, according to his family. Doctors are closely monitoring him as the critical early hours unfold.
Medical teams are allowing Andrew’s brain room to swell, a standard step in severe head-trauma cases. Physicians say the first 24 to 48 hours are absolutely crucial in determining the direction of his recovery. Every minute during this window matters.

Right now, doctors cannot predict any lasting neurological effects. Specialists have told the family that the next two weeks will be a difficult, uncertain waiting period as Andrew’s body fights to stabilize and heal.
Despite the uncertainty, there is one profoundly hopeful sign: Andrew is alive and surviving. His family was able to visit him in the ICU, where he remains sedated while medical staff works relentlessly to support his recovery.
Andrew’s mother, Melody Wolfe, told friends and supporters that the entire situation still feels surreal. She described it as a nightmare no parent should ever have to endure—watching her son fight for his life because of a senseless act of violence.
Melody said the emotional weight of the past 24 hours has been overwhelming. One moment her son was serving his country, and the next he was in critical condition because of an ambush attack that never should have happened.
Despite her heartbreak, Melody expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of prayers, messages, and support flooding in from across the country. She said that every word of encouragement has helped her family hold on through the uncertainty.
She is pleading with the public to keep praying, emphasizing that Andrew needs constant spiritual support as much as medical care right now. The family is leaning heavily on faith as they wait for each new update from doctors.
Supporters have already begun coordinating prayer chains, vigils, and messages of hope. Loved ones say they can feel the strength of that unity—and they need it now more than ever.
For anyone willing to help, Melody’s message is simple and urgent:
“Prayer warriors, please don’t stop. We need you.” 🙏
