The 18-year U.S. Capitol Police veteran killed in the line of duty is being remembered as a man with a sense of humour who loved baseball and golf and was most proud of one particular title: Dad.
William “Billy” Evans, 41, was killed Friday when a vehicle rammed into Evans and another officer at a barricade just 100 yards from the Capitol. The driver, Noah Green, 25, came out of the car with a knife and was shot to death by police, officials said. Investigators believe Green had been delusional and increasingly having suicidal thoughts.
