No indication officer in Capitol attack was stabbed, shot
AP ^ | 04 05 2021 | MICHAEL BALSAMO

A Capitol Police officer killed last week when a man armed with a knife rammed his car into two officers at a barricade outside the Capitol does not appear to have been stabbed, slashed or shot, a police official told The Associated Press on Monday.

Officer William “Billy” Evans, an 18-year veteran of the force, died Friday after the driver rammed into the barricade near the Capitol. The driver, identified as 25-year-old Noah Green, crashed into the officers and the barrier, then exited the car armed with a knife and charged at another officer before the officer fatally shot him, authorities said.

Police released a photo Monday of the wood-handled knife laying on the ground next to an evidence marker.

The second officer who was injured has since been released from the hospital.

In the chaotic moments after the attack, law enforcement officials initially believed the suspect, who was seen on surveillance video lunging at the officers with a knife, may have stabbed Evans, but that was not the case. Rumors also had swirled around fears that Evans may have been struck by friendly fire when police started shooting at the suspect.

The investigation remains ongoing, but there is no indication that Evans was stabbed, slashed or shot, a U.S. Capitol Police official told the AP. The official could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.

“may have been struck by friendly fire “
Exactly what I posted on Friday, they shot their own guy. Cover up in progress.

According to the article,

“A Capitol Police officer killed last week when a man armed with a knife rammed his car into two officers at a barricade outside the Capitol does not appear to have been stabbed, slashed or shot.”

So how could he have been shot by friendly fire?

I understood that he was hit by the vehicle.

Ilhan Omar needs to work on banning automobiles.

“...they shot their own guy.”

So does that mean the attacker is not responsible? If I recall correctly, the cop that died on Jan. 6 had a heart attack but Pelosi and the media still blamed the protestors.

Lots of unsolved mysteries at the Capital.

Cops die of unknown causes. Cops allegedly shoots 'insurrectionist' and the story disappears.

Maybe Coast to Coast AM could do a segment.

The article says he was hit by a car. I suppose that just might possibly be his cause of death.

Funny how that works. Were they so reticent to discuss these things back on January 6th? Because I sure don't remember hearing "We can't discuss that..."

But I could be wrong.

They need to do one of those “I Heart Media” podcast mysteries:

“Who murdered Ashli Babbitt?”

I must be missing something. The descriptions of this event from the very beginning where that the two officer were struck by the car as the driver crashed into them and the police officer died from injuries sustained in the crash.
