US Congressional Leaders Pay Tribute to Officer Who Died Following Capitol
Riot

VOA News

   Congressional leaders gathered Wednesday in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda to
   pay tribute to Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died after
   being injured during the siege of the Capitol by supporters of
   President Donald Trump on January 6.

   Sicknick's remains arrived Tuesday at the Capitol in a solemn ceremony
   featuring dozens of Capitol Police officers, who stood at attention as
   his urn was carried up the steps to the Rotunda.

   In remarks during a ceremony Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
   called Sicknick a patriot and said he will never be forgotten. "Each
   day, when members (of Congress) enter the Capitol, this temple of
   democracy, we will remember his sacrifice," she said.
