Sources are telling the Daily Beast that the Taliban threatened to murder the DC shooter's family in Afghanistan if he did not fire on National Guard troops.

It has been reported that the Taliban is going after Afghanis who helped the United States in Afghanistan.

This story is still being investigated.
