A Washington, DC police officer has reportedly died of unknown causes after a violent disturbance at the US Capitol, where hundreds of supporters of President Donald Trump occupied the chambers and sent the building into lockdown.
The officer, who has yet to be named, died on Thursday, less than a day after the riot at the Capitol, CNN reported, citing three anonymous sources.
