House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ordered flags on Capitol Hill to fly at half-staff in honor of Brian Sicknick, the officer who died because of an injury sustained while protecting the Capitol building from protestors on Wednesday.
“I have ordered the flags at the Capitol lowered to half-staff in Officer Sicknick’s honor. The sacrifice of Officer Sicknick reminds us of our obligation to those we serve: to protect our country from all threats foreign and domestic. May it be a comfort to Officer Sicknick’s family that so many mourn with and pray for them at this sad time,” said Pelosi.
