Brian Sicknick to lie in honor at U.S. Capitol

Sicknick, 42, died from injuries he sustained after a pro-Trump mob breached the Capitol. He was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher during the hours-long fight for control of the building.

“The U.S. Congress is united in grief, gratitude and solemn appreciation for the service and sacrifice of Officer Brian Sicknick,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. “The heroism of Officer Sicknick and the Capitol Police force during the violent insurrection against our Capitol helped save lives, defend the temple of our democracy and ensure that the Congress was not diverted from our duty to the Constitution.”
