   A DC police officer who responded to the US Capitol insurrection has   
   died by suicide, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.   
      
   “Officer Gunther Hashida, assigned to the Emergency Response Team   
   within the Special Operations Division, was found deceased in his   
   residence on Thursday, July 29,” department spokesperson Kristen   
   Metzger told CNN in a statement.   
      
   Hashida joined the Metropolitan Police Department in 2003 and   
   responded to the Capitol on January 6, Metzger said.   
      
   “We are grieving as a Department and our thoughts and prayers are   
   with Officer Hashida’s family and friends,” Metzger said.   
      
   This is the third known suicide of an officer who responded to the   
   Capitol during the attack, and it is the second known suicide by a   
   DC officer specifically.   
      
   Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith, a 12-year veteran of the   
   force, and US Capitol Police Officer Howard Liebengood, a 16-year   
   Capitol Police veteran, also responded to the insurrection and later   
   died by suicide. A recent Senate report into the security failures   
   of the day lists both Smith and Liebengood among those who   
   “ultimately lost their lives” following the attack.
