Members of the U.S. Congress joined family, friends of Capitol officer Brian Sicknick as they paid tribute to the fallen officer, who died after sustaining injuries in the Jan. 6 riot on the U.S. Capitol. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sicknick was a "peacekeeper not only in duty, but in spirit." Schumer also said Sicknick was a devoted "family man" and a fan of the New Jersey Devils.

Sicknick died after defending the Capitol on Jan. 6 against the mob that stormed the building and interrupted the electoral count after then-President Donald Trump urged supporters on the National Mall to “fight like hell” to overturn his defeat. The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that Sicknick, who died the next day, was injured “while physically engaging with protesters,” though a final cause of death has not yet been determined.
