HeadlineJan 08, 2021

The United States Capitol Police announced that officer Brian Sicknick, who was hospitalized after Trump’s mob attacked him, died of his injuries Thursday evening. The 42-year-old had been on life support. He was one of 50 police officers reportedly injured by marauders on Wednesday. Police arrested just 26 people on Capitol Hill during the insurrection.

On Thursday, Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund said he would quit, effective January 16. Also on Thursday, congressional leaders ousted the sergeants-at-arms of both the House and Senate.
