Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senator Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote, “It is our hope that this tribute will be a comfort to the family of Officer Evans, particularly his children Logan and Abigail, as will the knowledge that so many Americans mourn with and pray for them at this sad time. May this tribute also be a source of comfort and an expression of gratitude to the U.S. Capitol Police Force, which has awed our nation with their courage and resilience during this devastating time.”
In giving his life to protect our Capitol & our Country, Officer Evans became a martyr for our democracy. It is the solemn privilege of the House & Senate to convey the appreciation for his heroic sacrifice with a lying-in-honor ceremony in the US Capitol. https://t.co/lcSvWsY7Fd
