I just can't imagine all of the Capitol police families waiting for notification when this news conference started.

That's heartbreaking about the officer. His poor family.

Half of the Capitol police officers who have died in the line of duty--ever-- died in the past three months. If you include those who died by suicide after the insurrection, it's 2/3.

Today I’m proud to be an MLB fan. I’m pretty shocked but happy they made that move.
Now if my team can do better than they did yesterday for opening day, I’ll be very pleased.

This is horrendous. That poor officers family, what they’ve already endured this year and now this. I hope the other officer is in better condition.

Our local news just said only one officer was Medivaced with "severe" injuries, the other was transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance so maybe that means the second officer is in better shape?

His FB shows that he supported a group the SPLC classifies as a hate group, and it appears that he gave that group a substantial donation in mid March. So you may be correct.

The fallen USCP Officer was Billy Evans, who had been a member of the force for 18 years.
Prayers for his family and loved ones. What a tragedy.
