Pentagon police officer George Gonzalez died Tuesday after sustaining injuries during a violent incident outside of the Pentagon building, according to a release from the Pentagon Force Protection Agency.
Gonzalez joined the Pentagon Force Protection Agency as a police officer in July 2018 and was promoted twice and attained the rank of Senior Officer in 2020, according to a release by the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, which oversees security at the Pentagon.
The FBI has been investigating the incident and in a series of tweets Wednesday, its Washington field office offered some details.
On Tuesday around 10:40 a.m., an individual who has now been identified as Austin William Lanz, 27, exited a bus at the Pentagon Transit Center in Arlington, VA, and immediately, without provocation, attacked Gonzalez with a knife, severely wounding him, the FBI Washington field office tweeted.
