SEATTLE (AP) — Authorities have announced that a sixth Seattle police officer is now under investigation after reporting their presence in Washington, D.C., during the violent U.S. Capitol insurrection. The Seattle Police Department said on its blog Friday the officer self-reported being there. Police did not say when the officer made the report. The Office of Police Accountability began investigating two Seattle officers after photos on social media showed them in D.C. on Jan. 6. Officers were told at that time to report to their supervisors if they had also been there. The watchdog group is investigating to determine whether the officers engaged in any illegal activities or violated any department policies.
