    WASHINGTON — As a pro-Trump protest turned into a violent attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6 last year, four people in the crowd died.

    • Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer as rioters tried to breach the House chamber.

    • Kevin D. Greeson died of a heart attack, collapsing on the sidewalk west of the Capitol on Jan. 6.

    • Rosanne Boyland appeared to have been crushed in a stampede of fellow rioters as they surged against the police.

    • Benjamin Philips, the founder of a pro-Trump website called Trumparoo, died of a stroke.


    In the days and weeks after the riot, five police officers who had served at the Capitol on Jan. 6 died.


    And lets not dismiss
    About 150 officers from the Capitol Police, the Metropolitan Police Department and local agencies were injured, and hundreds of workers were traumatized by the mob.
