Capitol Police announced the name of the officer slain in Friday’s Capitol attack.
Officer William “Billy” Evans was an 18 year veteran of the Capitol Police force, and died shortly after an altercation with Noah Green, a 25-year-old man from Indiana, who multiple reports have identified as the suspect who rammed his car into a barricade before authorities say he charged at the police.
“It is with profound sadness that I share the news of the passing of Officer William ‘Billy’ Evans this afternoon from injuries he sustained following an attack at the North Barricade by a lone assailant,” Capitol Police said in a statement acknowledging his death.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ordered Capitol flags to be flown half staff in Evans’s honor.
