In the face of a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, Officer Sicknick and his colleagues heroically defended the Congress and our democratic process. As a member of our First Responders Unit, Officer Sicknick was protecting the West Front of the Capitol Building when he was brutally attacked. He died the very next day. We are grateful for everyone who helped put his attackers behind bars. We will never forget Officer Sicknick's bravery, nor his dedication to our country. Officer Brian Sicknick died an American hero and he will forever be remembered as one." - United States Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger

Brian Sicknick, the slain U.S. Capitol Police officer who was given the rare distinction of lying in honor in the Capitol Rotunda, received a final tribute from lawmakers Wednesday. President Biden and first lady Jill Biden joined Sicknick's family members and colleagues from the Capitol Police in a period of visitation on Tuesday night.

Sicknick, 42, died from injuries he sustained fending off members of the mob that breached the Capitol complex on Jan. 6.
