Brian Sicknick was an officer with the Capitol Police who died Thursday evening after he “was injured while physically engaging with protesters,” the USCP said in a statement announcing his death.
The USCP said he had “returned to his division office and collapsed” and died from his injuries after being transported to an area hospital. He is only the fourth USCP officer to die in the line of duty since the department’s founding in 1828.
The exact circumstances that led to Sicknick’s death are not readily available, but there are reports, citing law enforcement sources, that Sicknick was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher during the chaos.
Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick has unfortunately died from injuries he sustained while engaging rioters on Wednesday:
“had been struck with a fire extinguisher.”
This is just so horrible. They describe him as a
“a President Trump supporter from New Jersey who served in the military including a deployment to the Middle East before joining the force.”
“Sicknick, who lived in Virginia, was a 1997 graduate of Middlesex County Vocational Technical High School in East Brunswick, the site reported, citing a 1998 article in the Central New Jersey Home News.
He was a former Air National Guardsman who served in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Enduring Freedom, his brother Craig Sicknick told The Daily Beast.”
