Judge orders involuntary feeding for suspect in National Guard shooting

In Washington, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, charged with shooting two National Guard troops, has been ordered to receive involuntary feeding due to his refusal to eat while jailed. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta's emergency order allows medical staff to provide nutrition to prevent Lakanwal from starving. He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges related to the November 2025 shooting that killed one Guard member and injured another.
