Pirro: Man Suspected of Killing National Guard Member to Face Murder Charges

The U.S. Department of Justice is upgrading charges for the Afghan man suspected of shooting and killing a National Guard member and wounding another to first-degree murder, U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro said on Friday.

The comments were made on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" program.

Pirro said a day earlier that the suspect would face three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
