Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, has been identified as the suspect. The individual allegedly entered the United States legally in 2021 after the country’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

While the suspect has been apprehended, the condition of the two National Guard members is said to be serious. Some tweets had originally claimed that the two servicemen had been killed, something that McGregor posted on his X account:

However, the Irishman ended that hiatus recently with a post about visions of his own death during therapy in Tijuana:

"I was blessed to meet the most forward-thinking doctors from Stanford University and undergo a series of treatments to address trauma. I travelled to Tijuana, Mexico and underwent Ibogaine treatment at AMBIO. Watch the @netflix documentary just released titled 'In Waves and War', as it is the exact place I went. It was incredible, intense, and absolutely eye-opening. I was shown what would have been my death. How soon it was to be, and how it would have impacted my children. I was looking down on myself as it happened, and then I was looking out from the coffin."

The former UFC double champion added that he saw God, and he was himself again after a long time:

"God then came to me in the Holy Trinity. He is MIGHTY! Jesus, his child. Mary, his Mother. The Archangels. All present in heaven, I was shown the light. Jesus descended from the white marble steps of heaven and anointed me with a crown. I was saved! My brain. My heart. My soul. Healed! I was 36hours under before I finally rested. When I awoke, I was me again. The most enlightening and enchanting experience I have ever undertaken. "
