One of them has been pronounced dead, and the extent of the other officer\u2019s injuries are not currently clear. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt is a with a very, very heavy heart that I announce one of our officers has succumbed to his injuries,\u201d said Pittman in a press conference. \u201cWe are not able to release any information, names, age, date of birth, or anything of that nature at this time, because we still have to notify the next of kin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis has been an extremely difficult time,\u201d said Pittman, citing the events of January 6 as well as the car attack. She also asked that the public keep the Capitol police department in their thoughts and prayers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Pittman said the yet-to-be-identified suspect \u201cdid not respond to verbal commands\u201d and was carrying a visible knife in his hand. Police fired at the suspect after the individual started running toward them in what Pittman described as lunging.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Robert Contee, chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, which is separate from the Capitol police department, offered his \u201cdeepest condolences\u201d to \u201call of the officers at the United States Capitol Police,\u201d and said there doesn\u2019t appear to be an ongoing threat. Contee said that it doesn\u2019t appear the suspect was known to local police. He also said the department\u2019s homicide division and internal affairs division was taking over the investigation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
