A servicemember of the Air National Guard is on the mend after he was gravely wounded in an ambush-style shooting last month in Washington DC.

The family of the 24-year-old soldier, twenty-four, say "his head wound is slowly healing and that he's beginning to 'regain his familiar appearance,'" stated the state's chief executive the governor.

The family anticipates the military non-commissioned officer to be in intensive treatment for the coming fortnight, and they feel hopeful about his recovery, said the governor.

The serviceman was one of a pair of West Virginia National Guard members shot when a shooter began shooting not far from the presidential residence on November 26th. His fellow guardsmember, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, succumbed to her wounds.

"We continue to ask all state residents and the nation's citizens for their thoughts and prayers!" the governor said.

The governor was present at a candlelight gathering on last Friday night for the injured soldier at a local secondary school in Inwood, West Virginia, where the serviceman was once a pupil.

A clergyman at the event read a statement from the soldier's parents, Jason and Melody Wolfe.

"We know that there is a difficult journey to go," they wrote, as reported by local news outlet outlets.

"But our belief keeps us optimistic. We remain thankful for the prayers and the support from people all over the globe."

Earlier in the week, the governor said the serviceman had acknowledged medical staff with a thumbs-up and was capable of wiggle his feet.

Law enforcement have charged the suspected shooter, an individual from Afghanistan named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, with first-degree murder and attempted murder.

Before coming to the United States in two years ago, he was once a member of a special forces unit in a CIA-backed unit that operated alongside American troops in Afghanistan.

The injured airman was one of two thousand militia personnel whom President Donald Trump deployed to the nation's capitol in last summer as part of his immigration and crime-related crackdown in Democratic-led cities.

In the aftermath of the shooting, the former president said he wanted another 500 military personnel deployed to the District of Columbia.

The former presidential office has also referenced the shooting as a reason for further restrictive policies.

They have halted naturalization proceedings for immigrants from a list of nations that were part of a travel ban announced over the recent season, including the suspect's home country.
