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.

[OhNo-Really]

31. Yes x 350,000. I'm waiting for confirmed sources hoping no officer was lost

[exboyfil]

2. They were betrayed by their own leadership

and some fellow officers.

21. +1

[Rebl2]

25. Yep!

Some of them should be charged with murder. In the real world even if you didn’t pull the trigger but are part of the crime where someone is murdered, you are charged with murder. At least it’s the case in my state.

3. I bet you some of the 5 who suffered emergencies could not get an ambulance

fast enough.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON SHOULD DISOBEY

Cops have already turned on the American public. They have chosen
their side and they have chosen poorly

5. Shit

Maybe now the police will take this seriously. There must be investigations into the failed response to a riot we all knew was going to happen.

6. Turning into quite the death toll, and America's status and image around the world

also took a massive hit. How is Donnie still in power?

8. They were undermanned and underarmed? Who swam in the decision stream?

That's where the serious crime took place.

12. And that as my Dad said is the 64,000 dollar question...don't know why he said it but he did...

38. Thank you, I keep meaning to google it.

9. Needless to say,

I hope everyone involved in this lives to regret it.

10. "Peaceful protest"

[bullimiami]

11. So anyone that entered the building can be charged with capital murder

In the commission of a felony.

[Demsrule86]

13. The just executed a man who was there when a murder happened... but didn't kill anyone.

Guess what color he was...18 at the time.

15. How awful. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

There has got to be a thorough investigation of exactly what happened with Capitol security that day and which parties were responsible for such a horrible failure.

18. I can't help but wonder what the "Party of Law and Order" ...

will have to say after Trump issues blanket pardons for his coup attempt minions.

19. any video of the attack on the officer?

there were a lot of cameras there...

[FakeNoose]

22. I'm sure everything is on video

The FBI will have IDs on everybody.

[FakeNoose]

20. Is it the guy that got hit in the head with a lead pipe?

I believe he had the most serious injury. These Capitol Hill police were so under-staffed and under-equipped. It was really sad, they looked like college campus rent-a-cops. It looked like they weren't carrying weapons either.

Of course the DC Metro Police and the National Guard were trained and equipped to handle domestic violence, but they weren't called until too late. It was already out of hand by the time they came in.

RIP to the Capitol Police officer who died.

Capitol Police disputes reports that officer involved in riots died

The US Capitol Police disputed reports that an officer died on Thursday, one day after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the center of US democracy on Wednesday to demand Congress not accept the results of November’s presidential election.

CNN was first to report the news, citing three unnamed sources. NPR also cited a source that an officer died.

"Media reports regarding the death of a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer are not accurate. Although some officers were injured and hospitalized yesterday, no USCP officers have passed away," Capitol Police said in a statement. We ask that our officers’ and their families’ privacy be respected at this time. Should a statement become necessary, the Department will issue one at the appropriate time."

The officer has not been identified.

On Wednesday, four people inside the US Capitol died, including one person who was shot by a Capitol police officer. Three others died from unspecified medical conditions.

Earlier on Thursday, the head of the Capitol Police, Steven Sund, resigned after facing pressure from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Sund turned down assistance from the federal government to defend the Capitol, the AP reported.

Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee previously stated that dozens of officers sustained injuries during Wednesday's melee.

34. Thank you for clarifying this report, there was so much conflicting information.

I think the reason was the Capitol Police wanted to notify the family before it reached the press, so the family did not learn of his passing from seeing it in the news first.

Again thank you for the clarification.

[Gothmog]

35. RIP

30. When I think that POS instigated this and people died.

A sitting president, seditious and malignant. He deserves the death penalty. Fascists don't give a damn how many bodies they step over. I hope the worthless spawn realize the position they will face very soon. No more secret service.

32. The officer had died due to the injuries suffered in this uprising
