What’s the latest on the Washington shootings?
“It is an ongoing investigation of terrorism,” Patel told reporters.
“We are fully investigating that aspect of his background as well to include any known associates that are either overseas or here in the United States of America, that is what a broad-based international terrorism investigation looks like,” he said.
At the same briefing, Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for the District of Columbia, warned that the charges could be upgraded depending on the victims’ condition.
“We are praying that they survive and that the highest charge will not have to be murder in the first degree. But make no mistake, if they do not, that will certainly be the charge,” she said.
