[brooklynite]

Brian Gundersen, age 28, who graduated from Byram Hills High School in Armonk and played varsity football during his time there, was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Tuesday, July 25 for his role in the breach of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, according to the US Department of Justice.

According to federal officials, before arriving in Washington, DC, Gundersen had asked on Facebook if anyone was "going to DC on the 6th" and also suggested, "We might be able to bum rush the white house and take it over.”

In the days after the incident, Gundersen posted about the attack on social media, saying, "We all stormed the us capital and tried to take over the government." Additionally, he also posted a picture of Congress members taking cover during the attack and captioned it, "Look at these scared little bitches.”

Gundersen was caught by investigators after a police chief in North Castle told the FBI that the Superintendent of the Byram Hills Central School District had noticed that one of the rioters caught on camera at the Capitol building was wearing one of the district’s jackets.
