Per The Wall Street Journal:
A witness took photos of the ambush of the two National Guard troops that shows the suspect—an Afghan refugee with whom the Central Intelligence Agency had once worked—with a revolver in hand, U.S. National Guardsmen shooting back and fallen Guard members on the ground.
The episode was captured on a smartphone by a passerby who was traveling past the Farragut West Metro station, just three blocks north of the White House, when the shooting occurred. The witness shared the photos with The Wall Street Journal. The images of the scene correspond with an account by Jeffrey Carroll, the executive assistant chief of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Then what Carroll called an “ambush” occurred. The suspect, he told reporters, “came around the corner, raised his arm with a firearm and discharged at the National Guard members.” Guard members are seen reacting to the attack. The time stamp on the image says it was taken around 2:13 p.m.
This photo below taken a few seconds later provides the first known image of the suspect holding a revolver in his right hand as he stood on the corner of 17th and “I” streets. One National Guardsman is running down the street.
Five seconds later, the Guardsman fires loud shots that the smartphone recorded.
