William “Billy” Evans, an 18-year veteran of the department and member of its first responders unit, died.
Shaver was the only other officer injured in the attack. Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman and Metropolitan Police Chief Robert J. Contee III held a joint press conference on Friday after a suspect armed with a knife rammed a barrier to the U.S. Capitol, killing one police officer and injuring another. “This has been an extremely difficult time for U.S. Capitol Police after the events of January 6, and now the events that have occurred here today,” Pittman said.
Authorities shot and killed the suspect after he emerged from the crashed car with a knife in his hand and started to run at the pair of officers, Capitol Police acting Chief Yogananda Pittman told reporters.
