A West Virginia National Guard member who was shot last month in the nation’s capital is being transitioned from hospital acute care to in-patient rehabilitation. Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe was airlifted to MedStar Washington Hospital Center with a critical gunshot wound to the head on Nov. 26. Dr. Jeffrey Mai, a MedStar neurosurgeon, says Wolfe has “made extraordinary progress.” Wolfe and Spc. Sarah Beckstrom were ambushed as they patrolled a subway station three blocks from the White House on Nov. 26. Beckstrom died the next day. A 29-year-old Afghan national who was also shot during the confrontation has been charged with murder. He has pleaded not guilty.

Alex Singleton is back on the football field less than three weeks after surgery for a cancerous testicular tumor. Denver's leading tackler aims to play against Washington this weekend. He shared his story on "Good Morning America," emphasizing early detection. Singleton learned of his condition after a random NFL drug test showed elevated hormone levels. He had surgery following a game against the Raiders. Singleton missed only one game and was involved in preparations for the Chiefs that week. He continues to undergo testing and appreciates the support from teammates and fans.

A group of Buddhist monks is continuing a 2,300-mile walk across the U.S. to promote peace after two were injured in a traffic accident near Houston. The monks began their journey on Oct. 26 from Fort Worth, Texas, aiming to raise awareness of peace and compassion. They plan to travel through 10 states before reaching Washington, D.C. On Wednesday, their escort vehicle was hit by a truck on U.S. Highway 90, injuring two monks. One monk required surgery but is expected to recover. The group plans to continue its walk with local law enforcement support.
