CNN: A Capitol Police officer has died from injuries from yesterdays's insurrection UPDATE

US Capitol Police officer has died following riot at Capitol

From CNN's Kristin Wilson, Evan Perez and David Brooks

A US Capitol Police officer has died from events stemming from Wednesday's riot at the Capitol, three sources confirmed to CNN.

The police officer is now the fifth person to die as a result of the day's violence. One woman was shot and killed by Capitol Police as the crowd breached the building and three others suffered medical emergencies that proved fatal.

Rioters on Wednesday breached the Capitol building and the Senate chamber, ransacked the offices of Pelosi and other Capitol offices, and a laptop was stolen from the office of Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley.

I guess the president is now technically a cop-killer - WB

That makes it even MORE DEADLY than Bengazi!!!!!!

Will the hearings ever end?



Actually, I am sure there WILL be hearings and they will NOT be politically driven, but rather, meant to find ways to protect our elected representatives and keep America safe from domestic or foreign disruption.

If I tell you to go fight and you kill someone, doesn't that make me an accomplice?

Manson never actually killed anyone (that we know of) but incited his followers to commit murder....and spent the rest of his life in prison
