A man charged in the shooting of two National Guard members near the White House is hospitalized after refusing food in jail, federal prosecutors say. One of the troops is killed in the incident. According to court proceedings described by multiple outlets, the suspect is taken to a hospital for treatment of a potentially life-threatening medical condition that develops while he is detained. The New York Times reports that a judge says the suspect’s deteriorating health is “self-inflicted.” The suspect has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges related to the attack. While outlets agree on the core sequence—charges filed in connection with the shooting, subsequent hospitalization after the accused refuses food, and the death of one National Guard member—details about the exact nature of the medical condition and the circumstances in custody are not uniform across reports. The cases’ next steps, including further court proceedings, depend on the resolution of the medical issue and the ongoing prosecution of the criminal charges.
