Biden and Hill leaders to speak at ceremony ahead of slain Capitol Police officer lying in honor
President Joe Biden, congressional leaders and members of the US Capitol Police will attend a ceremony for fallen Capitol Police Officer William “Billy” Evans, who will lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda on Tuesday.
Evans, an 18-year veteran of the Capitol Police, died while protecting the US Capitol from an individual who brandished a knife after ramming his vehicle into a police barricade along the perimeter. Another officer was injured in the attack.
Once Evans’ casket is carried into the Capitol, Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Chaplain Margaret Kibben will speak. Members of the fallen officer’s family are expected to be in attendance for the ceremony.
