About 140 officers were injured during the Capitol riot and five have died since then.
Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died the next day from a stroke. Two others – Capitol Police Officer Howard Liebengood and Metro Police Officer Jeffrey Smith, who responded to the riot – died by suicide days later. Metro Police Officers Gunther Hashida and Kyle DeFreytag, who also responded to the attack, died by suicide in July.
WTF.
