A US Capitol Police officer has died from events stemming from Wednesday's riot at the Capitol, three sources confirm to CNN, in which a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the building to stop the counting of electoral votes that affirmed President-elect Joe Biden's win. The police officer is now the fifth person to die as a result of the day's violence. One woman was shot and killed by Capitol Police as the crowd breached the building and three others suffered medical emergencies that proved fatal.

We don't know from the article who he was or why he died, but we know that the rabid mob killed him. This is narrative building, not reporting.

Remember the last time one died in the line of duty? Mid-nineties, 2 were shot by a nutcase. Their bodies lay in state(!) in the rotunda and it was headline news for a couple of days. That's when I first came to realize that there are way too many reporters in this country.

Fake News. The Capitol Police has issued a statement that none of their officers have died.

CNN is not a credible news source. They're lying to even things up; they know the cops killed an unarmed citizen, and the focus must be on the Trump supporters dressed in black like antifa-blm.

Notice they aren't really telling us anything. Not who shot the veteran. Not what kind of medical emergencies the other deceased had, or whether it was induced (tasers?, pepper spray? Something else, like batons?) Silence.
And of course no word of the false flag AntiFa presence. And they are censoring EVERYTHING reported out of the event... which apparantly occurred while the president was in the middle of speaking. I dont know about you, but I've never heard of fanatical followers streaming away from their fearless leader to do his bidding before waiting for him to finish talking. It's just not done.
So much suspicious about the reporting.

He died of a stroke. To bury cause of death as this article does begs the issue; many readers will assume he was killed by a "Trump terrorist."

Headline and article updated. The chair of the Capitol police union retracted his statement that the officer died. Now the union guy says, “I think he's on life support.”
Why should we believe a word this hack says? The same with cnn.

United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer are not accurate. Although some officers were injured and hospitalized yesterday, no USCP officers have passed away. We ask that our officers’ and their families’ privacy be respected at this time. Should a statement become necessary, the Department will issue one at the appropriate time."

So. we are now up to five deaths that Trump and his supporters are responsible for. Listed as one unarmed person shot by a capitol policeman, one capitol police officer by a stroke, and three senior citizen protesters passing away due to heart attack during the protest. Yep, that sure points to Trump inciting his violent mob, doesn't it?
And to think that there was a time when we were amused by stories about the Russians making fun of what Pravda reported. Our news media has far surpassed the fake news of Pravda, yet many still consider them valid reporters of events.

#2 beat me to the point.
PDJT had the swamp media playing as much defense as offense, as he fought back. Now that he has conceded office, they are going back on offense. Bald-faced lying is back in-season.
