BREAKING: Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick has died after he was hurt responding to pro Trump riot. Police say he was “injured while physically engaging with protesters. He returned to his division office and collapsed.” Will be investigated as homicide. @fox5dc
Full statement
The motorcade for Officer Brian Sicknick around 11:30pm Thursday
If you are wondering why there are media articles saying his death was reported mistakenly-he was in very grave condition, some (including some in Congress) said he died before he actually did. He died around 930pm Thurs per Capitol Police
There are different reports about what happened to him. It will all come out. There have already been errors by some who jumped the gun reporting this story and we want to make sure what we’re reporting is correct.

It’s awful to see children hurt by racism ESPECIALLY at school! The DC story today & then yesterday‘s story on high schoolers in blackface using the n-word in Montgomery Co. Look at how hate incidents have gone up there- 800% increase over a few years! Working to get DCPS numbers
(1/2) UPDATE to story on 6 y/o at Mann School in NW who says child called him the n-word, threatened to shoot him: I found out yesterday that just before my report aired Tues, principal sent letter to parents stating w/ certainty no racial slur used. fox5dc.com/news/local-new…
