Photo: Anadolu Agency/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images The Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia announced Monday that an officer who responded to the Capitol riot on January 6 has died by suicide. A department spokesperson identified the officer as Gunther Hashida, a member of the force’s emergency-response team within its special-ops division. Hashida, who joined the MDP in 2003, was found in his home on July 29.
Hashida’s death is the third suicide among law-enforcement officers who responded to the attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob. On January 10, the United States Capitol Police announced that Howard Liebengood had died by suicide. A 16-year veteran of the Capitol Police, he had been assigned to the Senate division of the force. On January 15, a 12-year Metropolitan Police Department veteran, Jeffrey Smith, died by suicide.
“We are grieving as a department, and our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Hashida’s family and friends,” an MPD spokesperson told CNN. As lawmakers investigate the events of January 6, much of the most powerful testimony has come from officers who responded to the violence, which injured over 150 members of law enforcement. Last week, on the first day of the House Select Committee investigation into the attack, Capitol Police Officer Aquilino Gonell compared the hand-to-hand combat to a “medieval battle” and recalled thinking, “This is how I’m going to die.

Kinzinger Supports Capitol Riot Panel Subpoenaing Top RepublicansThe Illinois Republican said Jim Jordan and Kevin McCarthy should be subpoenaed to help reveal 'what the president was doing every moment of that day.'

Officer Fanone condemns ‘disgraceful’ indifference to Jan. 6 victims'The indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful,' Officer Fanone says. 'Nothing, truly nothing, has prepared me to address those elected members of our govt who continue to deny the events of that day. And in doing so, betray their oath of office.' I’m so sorry. It’s not indifference at all. Truth tellers – those connected to reality – stand in the way of Hair Furor, his sycophants, his enablers & his kkkult. They are regarded as obstacles, dispensable in the cause of nationalistic authoritarianism, & can expect to be treated as such. Shut up
