US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he`s invited the family of a National Guard member fatally shot last week to the White House, saying he spoke to her parents and they were `devastated.` US Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom died after the Wednesday shooting in Washington, DC, while her seriously injured colleague, US Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, remained in critical condition.

The president said he`s discussed a White House visit for the parents of both members of the West Virginia National Guard. `I said, When you`re ready, because that`s a tough thing, come to the White House. We`re going to honor Sarah,` Trump told reporters. `And likewise with Andrew, recover or not.` In recent days, local vigils in West Virginia have honoured the soldiers, including one Saturday evening at Webster County High School, where Beckstrom attended classes.
