Police Chief on Capitol Attack: ‘Keep US Capitol Police and Their Families in Your Prayers'

Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman and Metropolitan Police Chief Robert J. Contee III held a joint press conference on Friday after a suspect armed with a knife rammed a barrier to the U.S. Capitol, killing one police officer and injuring another. “This has been an extremely difficult time for U.S. Capitol Police after the events of January 6, and now the events that have occurred here today,” Pittman said.
