Federal prosecutors say a man charged in the shooting of two U.S. National Guard members near the White House has been taken to a hospital after refusing food while in custody. Both outlets report that the accused is facing charges related to the incident in which one guard member is killed and another is wounded. Prosecutors state the man is hospitalized for treatment of a potentially life-threatening medical condition that developed after he stopped eating in jail. The reports indicate that jail staff or authorities responded to his refusal to eat by seeking medical evaluation, leading to his transfer to a hospital. The outlets do not provide additional details about the specific medical condition, the timing of the hospitalization, or the status of the criminal case. They also do not describe changes to any detention decisions beyond the medical transfer. The case remains in the hands of federal prosecutors as proceedings continue.
