Capitol Police Officer William Evans, who died Friday following a confrontation with a motorist who rammed a barricade and lunged at authorities with a knife, was an 18-year veteran.
Capitol Police had still been recovering from the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol, which claimed the life of Officer Brian Sicknick, 42. Another died by suicide after the riot, as did an officer with the Metropolitan Police Department.
Details surrounding Evans' death were not immediately known.
"There is still much to be determined about this attack and DHS offers its full support to Capitol Police and DC Mayor [Muriel] Bowser," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorka said in a statement.
The suspect, identified by multiple law enforcement sources as Noah Green, 25, of Indiana, was fatally shot by responding officers, officials said.
The FBI was assisting with the Metropolitan police investigation into the motive behind the attack.
"On behalf of the House of Representatives, I have conveyed our prayers and condolences to his mother Janice, with our offer of assistance to her and Officer Evans’ children Logan and Abigail," Nancy Pelosi said.
Chuck Schumer spoke to the officer's family.
President Biden said in a statement that he wanted to express "the nation's gratitude" to the Capitol police.
"Jill and I were heartbroken to learn of the violent attack at a security checkpoint on the U.S. Capitol grounds, which killed Officer William Evans of the U.S. Capitol Police, and left a fellow officer fighting for his life," the president said.
"We send our heartfelt condolences to Officer Evans’ family."
"We continue to be proud of the courageous men and women who defend the Capitol, especially during a challenging period when they have faced two violent and deadly attacks," Kamala Harris said.

Nothing new. Black muslims have been killing people for at least fifty or more years. The ZEBRA KILLERS comes to mind.
“The “Zebra” murders were a string of racially motivated murders and related attacks committed by a small group of Black Muslim serial killers in San Francisco, California, United States from October 1973 to April 1974; they killed at least fifteen people and wounded eight others.” Wikipedia
Years ago I read that the Zebra Killers may have actually been responsible for at many as 250 deaths.
