The veteran U.S. Capitol Police officer killed last week in the line of duty is being remembered as a man who loved his children, baseball and golf.

Friday’s deadly breach of the Capitol’s perimeter comes as lawmakers were eyeing a return to more normal security measures after the Jan. 6 riot.Robert E. Johnson, the university’s president, said in a statement that Evans was a member of the school’s baseball and bowling teams and the campus activities board. He said that Evans’ friends at the university described him as “extremely welcoming and friendly, humble, and always willing to help others.

John Claffey, a professor of criminal justice, said that when news of Evans’ death first aired, he had the sense that he knew that smile. “I immediately said, ‘That’s a face I recognize,’” Claffey said.Over the weekend, Claffey received four calls from former students who just wanted to talk to him about Evans.“This has shaken a lot of people’s worlds,” he said. “A lot of people from Western New England, who haven’t been here in 18 years, it’s still having an impact on them.

The death of Evans came nearly three months after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol that left five people dead,Lawmakers issued a wave of statements offering their condolences and gratitude to Evans after the attack. Capitol Hill aides and members of the press corps also weighed in, recalling him as friendly and professional.

No indication officer in Capitol attack was stabbed, shotA Capitol Police officer killed last week when a man armed with a knife rammed his car into two officers at a barricade outside the Capitol does not appear to have been stabbed, slashed or shot, a police official told The Associated Press on Monday. Officer William “Billy” Evans, an 18-year veteran of the force, died Friday after the driver rammed into the barricade near the Capitol. The driver, identified as 25-year-old Noah Green, crashed into the officers and the barrier, then exited the car armed with a knife and charged at another officer before the officer fatally shot him, authorities said. No big weekend story on the mental state of the suicide by cop perpetrator. This is the first time I’ve been able to id his race. Wonder why
