WASHINGTON (AP) — The casket of slain U.S. Capitol Police Officer William “Billy” Evans has arrived at the Capitol where it will lie in honor in the Rotunda. President Joe Biden and congressional leaders will pay their respects to Evans, who was struck by a car and killed while he manned a barricade near the Senate side of the building. It’s the second such memorial ceremony this year for a force that has edged close to crisis in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Members of the National Guard lined the street and saluted the hearse carrying Evans’ flag-draped casket. His family, including his two children, watched as his casket was carried up the Capitol steps.
