U.S. Capitol police officer dies after engaging rioters

A U.S. Capitol Police officer who was injured amid Wednesday’s takeover of the Capitol died Thursday night, according to a statement from his department.

The officer was identified as Brian D. Sicknick.

The Capitol Police said in the statement that Sicknick was injured “while physically engaging with protesters.” He collapsed after returning to his division office and was rushed to a hospital, where officials said he died at 9:30 p.m. Thursday.

Police did not provide details of how Sicknick was injured and the cause of death was pending Friday morning. It is considered a line-of-duty death and is being investigated by the D.C. police department’s homicide unit.

On Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ordered flags at the U.S. Capitol to be flown at half-staff.

“The violent and deadly act of insurrection targeting the Capitol, our temple of American Democracy, and its workers was a profound tragedy and stain on our nation’s history. But because of the heroism of our first responders and the determination of the Congress, we were not, and we will never be, diverted from our duty to the Constitution and the American people,” Pelosi said in a statement.
