WASHINGTON – United States Capitol Police Officer William "Billy" Evans will lie in honor in the Capitol rotunda Tuesday.

Evans, an 18-year member of the force who served on the agency's First Responders Unit, died during an attack at the Capitol earlier this month.

Several events are scheduled in Evans' honor, including a ceremonial arrival and a congressional tribute at 11 a.m. that will be attended by congressional leadership, President Joe Biden and others.

A viewing period will follow for members of the USCP force, with a viewing period for members of Congress that extends into the evening. A ceremonial departure from the Capitol will occur at 6:30 p.m.
