National Guardsman Andrew Wolfe Shows Signs of Improvement After Head Injury
WASHINGTON, D.C. — December 3, 2025 — National Guardsman Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe is showing signs of improvement after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head while on duty last week, officials said. Wolfe was shot the day before Thanksgiving and has been receiving intensive care in a Washington, D.C. hospital.
According to reports from Wolfe’s family and West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey, where Wolfe’s unit is based, the soldier has responded to stimuli and undergone surgery following the attack. Initially reported in critical condition with unstable vital signs, Wolfe’s status was updated to serious condition, indicating stable vital signs.
Governor Morrissey and Wolfe’s mother shared that Wolfe has exhibited responses such as wiggling his toes and giving a thumbs-up to a nurse. These developments have prompted expressions of hope and prayers from across the country and around the world.
President Donald Trump also noted that Wolfe’s mother has expressed confidence in her son’s survival. The outpouring of support includes prayers based on Psalm 91, which asks for courage and protection, reflecting a belief in the power of community intercession to aid healing.
Medical experts and public figures have highlighted the role of both advanced medical care and spiritual support in recovery from severe injuries. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who survived a gunshot wound in 2017, has spoken about the combined impact of prayer and medical treatment in his own recovery.
The situation remains closely monitored as Wolfe continues to receive care. Officials have not released further details about the circumstances of the shooting or Wolfe’s long-term prognosis.
