A GoFundMe page has been set up for the family of U.S. Capitol Police officer and South River native Brian Sicknick, who died Thursday from injuries suffered in the Washington, D.C., riot and in his honor, Gov. Phil Murphy ordered all flags lowered to half-staff on Monday.
Sicknick, 42, who served in the New Jersey Air National Guard, was one of five people to die in Wednesday's attack on the U.S. Capitol building. An officer with the U.S. Capitol Police since 2008, Sicknick served most recently in the First Responder Unit.
Police have not confirmed the circumstances of Sicknick's death.
