US couple under fire for housing DC shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal, wife, 5 children; raised fund for ‘truly genuine people’

US couple under fire for housing DC shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal, wife, 5 children; raised fund for 'truly genuine people'

US couple Stanley Creighton and Valerie Creighton came under fire after the DC National Guard shooter was identified as Afghan-origin Rahmanullah Lakanwal, as the rich couple once vouched for the Lakanwal family when they hosted them in their $2.7 million home in Bellingham, Washington. This was just after the Lakanwal family came to the US in 2021 and had no place to live. The Creightons even started a fundraiser for the Afghan family and called them truly genuine and kind people. The fundraiser page was deleted after Lakanwal went rogue and shot two National Guard members. “Hi, this is Stan and Val and we are fundraising for an Afghan refugee family who stayed at outr home for 2 months before finding permanent rental housing in Bellingham, WA. Rahmanullah and Khamila have 5 wonderful boys ages 11 to 2. Before being evacuated to the US in September 2021, Rahmanullah served for 11 years as a member of the Afghan Special Forces alongside US service members fighting the Taliban,” the now-deleted fundraiser said. “This is an opportunity for you to help a truly wonderful family. They left Afghanistan with nothing and they need household and kitchen items of all kinds. please give whatever you can to help them start a new life in the US. They are truly genuine, kind people,” the fundraiser added. As the screenshot of this fundraiser surfaced, social media users dug up the whereabouts of the US couple. “The Creightons sponsored Lakanwal & his family in 2021 as part of Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome program. They appear to be serial profiteers of the “refugee industry” and have sponsored other Afghani families and Syrian refugees too. Who’s paying for all this?” one wrote. Laura Loomer revealed that the Creightons supported Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton. Loomer said they are extremely wealthy but still they “virtue signaled” to the community for raising money for the “jihadist”.

What did Rahmanullah do in the US?

According to reports, Rahmanullah was working as a driver for Amazon Flex, delivering packages as an independent contractor. But his last delivery was in August. The apartment complex where Lakhanwal lived most recently is a rent-subsidized home for people with disabilities, recovery etc. A relative spoke up and saod he had no idea why Lakanwal did this. “I need your help to know why this happened.” A childhood friend of Lakanwal’s told the NYT that he suffered mental problems from what he saw in Afghanistan. “When he saw blood, bodies, and the wounded, he could not tolerate it,” the friend told the New York Times. “It put a lot of pressure on his mind.”A neighbor in the US told NYT that the Lakanwal family kept to themselves, but he once discussed Afghan food with Lakanwal’s wife.
