A third police officer who fought thousands of rioters at the Capitol on January 6 has killed himself.
DC Metropolitan Officer Gunther Hashida, 43, took his own life on July 29, his family announced in a GoFundMe account. DC Metropolitan Police have confirmed his death.
It's unclear how he killed himself and his family have not attributed his death to the riot on January 6. He leaves behind a wife and three children.
