Biden visits US Capitol to pay respects to fallen officer
Biden visited the U.S. Capitol to pay his respects to the late-Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who is laying in honor in the Rotunda.
There was a brief arrival ceremony for Sicknick at about 9:30 p.m. and then some members of Congress paid their respect. A viewing period continues overnight for members of the U.S. Capitol Police.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden arrived at the Capitol shortly before 10 p.m. and walked into the Rotunda about 20 minutes later.
The president briefly touched Sicknick's urn and then the Bidens put their hands over their hearts. The couple then walked to flowers that were nearby and placed their hands over their hearts again. As the president dropped his hand to his side, he briefly shook his head. The Bidens left the Capitol moments later.
A congressional tribute will be held for Sicknick at 10:30 a.m. and a departure ceremony will take place at noon ahead of his interment.
