The suicide of a Washington police officer who was on duty during the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol breach has been designated as a line-of-duty death, according to a lawyer for the officer’s widow.
Attorney David Weber told The Epoch Times in an email that news reports about Jeffrey Smith’s suicide being determined by the D.C. Police and Firefighters’ Retirement and Relief Board to be a line-of-duty death were accurate.
