Part 4/6:
Authorities have identified the suspect as Ramanola Lacenwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national. Lacenwal entered the United States under the Biden administration's Operation Allies Welcome, a program initiated following the controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan. He was residing in Bellingham, Washington, with his wife and what is believed to be five children.
Known Background and Investigation
Investigations are ongoing, with federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI conducting a thorough review of Lacenwal's immigration and vetting history. Officials are working closely with these agencies to determine how he was allowed into the country and whether any lapses occurred during the screening process.
