These Are the People Who Died in the Capitol Riot Jack Healy 7–8 minutes A police officer was beaten, a rioter was shot, and three others died during the rampage. Credit...Shawn Thew/EPA, via Shutterstock Published Jan. 11, 2021Updated Oct. 13, 2022 Follow live updates on the House committee hearing on the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. UPDATE: New information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death provided by officials close to the Capitol Police. One had dreamed of becoming a police officer and was injured in a clash with rioters. One was an Air Force veteran and a fervent supporter of President Trump who was shot by the police. Three others were Trump loyalists — including one who sold kangaroos dressed like the president — who suffered what the authorities called “medical emergencies.” These five people from disparate backgrounds and different corners of the country now share one fate: Their lives all ended last week as a mob incited by Mr. Trump stormed the Capitol. Federal prosecutors have opened investigations into the deaths of two — the officer beaten by pro-Trump rioters, and the California woman shot inside the Capitol. But the authorities have released limited information about the deaths of the others, while families and friends have been grappling with scattered accounts of their final actions that day. Here is what we know about each of them and how they died. Brian Sicknick After serving in the Air National Guard and dreaming of becoming a police officer, Brian D. Sicknick joined the Capitol Police force in 2008. He died the day after he was overpowered and beaten by rioters from the mob at the Capitol. Law enforcement officials initially said Officer Sicknick was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher, but medical experts have said he did not die of blunt force trauma, according to one law enforcement official. Instead, investigators increasingly believe that Officer Sicknick may have been sprayed in the face with mace or bear spray, the official said. “He returned to his division office and collapsed,” the Capitol Police said in a statement. “He was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.” Image Credit...U.S. Capitol Police/via Reuters In a statement on Monday, his family described Officer Sicknick, 42, as “truly a lovely, humble soul” with a diligent work ethic, and said he was devoted to his job at the Capitol. His family said he also loved and spoiled his dachshunds. Officer Sicknick was hailed as a hero by politicians across the political spectrum. The United States Attorney’s office in Washington opened a federal homicide investigation into his killing, though no one has been charged so far. Ashli Babbitt Ashli Babbitt, 35, an Air Force veteran from Southern California, was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer as she clambered through a broken window leading to the Speaker’s Lobby inside the Capitol. Her last moments, captured from multiple angles on video, show Ms. Babbitt, a Trump flag knotted around her neck, being hoisted to the window as others in the mob shout. Moments later, a shot rings out and Ms. Babbitt falls back, blood pouring from her mouth. Image Credit...Maryland MVA/Calvert Co. Sheriff, via Associated Press The U.S. attorney in Washington also announced it was conducting an excessive-force investigation following her death, which officials called a “routine, standard procedure whenever an officer deploys lethal force.” In her social-media feeds, Ms. Babbitt had celebrated Mr. Trump and QAnon conspiracy theories, and her shooting instantly made her a martyr for far-right activists and Trump loyalists. Kevin Greeson Kevin D. Greeson, 55, of Athens, Ala., was standing in a throng of fellow Trump loyalists on the west side of the Capitol when he suffered a heart attack and fell to the sidewalk. He was talking on the phone with his wife at the time. Kristi Greeson, his wife, said in an interview that Mr. Greeson had high blood pressure and she had not wanted him to travel to Washington. But she said Mr. Greeson believed the election had been stolen and saw the Jan. 6 rally as “a monumental event.” Image Credit...Kristi Greeson In a statement to a local news channel, his family remembered Mr. Greeson as a good father and motorcycle enthusiast and said he “was not there to participate in violence or rioting, nor did he condone such actions.” But NBC News reported that Mr. Greeson appeared to have made several combative posts on Parler, a social-media haven for Trump supporters. An account featuring his name and picture urged the violent, far-right Proud Boys group to give “hell” to antifa, a loose confederation of far-left activists. A post in December urged direct action, NBC reported: “Load your guns and take to the streets!” Rosanne Boyland Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Ga., posted fervently in support of President Trump on social media, followed the baseless conspiracy theories of QAnon and latched onto Mr. Trump’s false claims that he had won the election, family members told The Associated Press. Image Credit...Justin Cave, via Associated Press Her family said Ms. Boyland was in recovery from drug addiction and wanted to become a substance-abuse counselor, but had also gone down a dark tunnel of online conspiracies. Some family members said they vehemently disagreed with Ms. Boyland’s decision to travel to Washington and urged her not to go. Justin Cave, her brother-in-law, told Fox 5 Atlanta that Mr. Trump bore some responsibility for her death, saying that the president’s rhetoric incited a riot “that killed four of his biggest fans.” Benjamin Philips Benjamin Philips, 50, the founder of a pro-Trump website called Trumparoo, was chipper as he drove a van of fellow Trump supporters from their home state of Pennsylvania to Washington. He told The Philadelphia Inquirer that it felt like “the first day of the rest of our lives.” Mr. Philips died of a stroke in Washington, those who accompanied him to the Capitol told the newspaper. The exact circumstances of his death were still unclear, and his family could not be reached for comment. A friend of Mr. Philips told the news channel WNEP that Mr. Philips had sold stuffed kangaroos dressed like Mr. Trump at the president’s rallies. His website — now down — billed itself as a “social network where American Patriots can mobilize against the corrupt communist marxist scummy democrats.” Image Credit...Keith Haupt/Bloomsburg Press Enterprise, via Associated Press Kitty Bennett contributed research.

Tigers preparing for challenge from SELA in final non-conference series Jason Caldwell 4–5 minutes AUBURN, Alabama—Coming off a pair of midweek wins over UAB and Jacksonville State, the No. 11 Auburn Tigers (11-1-1) will face off against Southeastern Louisiana this weekend in the final non-conference baseball series of the regular season when the Lions come to Plainsman Park for three games beginning Friday at 6 p.m. CST. It will be a rematch of the opening game of last year’s Auburn Regional when the Tigers scored 11 runs in the first inning on the way to a 19-7 win. Auburn’s Butch Thompson expects a much different challenge when the Lions come to town this weekend. Southeastern enters the series with a 9-4 overall record, coming off a midweek win at Alabama A&M after a series loss at Jacksonville last week. The Lions lead the country in hit by pitches (56) and rank top 10 in the country in stolen bases (47), on-base percentage (.458) and walks (92). Fifth-year outfield Tyler Finke leads the team with a .375 average and ranks third in the country with 15 stolen bases. He tied the program record for stolen bases this week. “We didn’t see their identity because Cole Foster hit the two home runs and I think we scored 10 runs in the first inning,” Thompson said. “That game didn’t allow them to do what they normally do. The things that jump out to you about Southeastern Louisiana is that they already have nine or 10 wins on the season. Eight of their starting hitters return, so their whole lineup returns for them.” Tasked with slowing down the SELA lineup will be junior left-handed pitcher Tanner Bauman on Friday night with true freshman LHP Zach Crotchfelt getting the start on Saturday. With junior RHP Joseph Gonzalez back throwing, but still not ready to go this weekend, Thompson said the goal is to have him ready for the SEC opener against Arkansas in a week. A pitching staff that has allowed just seven runs in the last three games, Thompson said he likes what he sees from the guys as they continue to pass it down and get the job done on the mound. “Our offense has cooled a little bit, but the pitching has picked up and that’s a positive,” Auburn's head coach said. “We’ve dug into some bullpen arms so we’ll get to more of our depth the first of the weekend where it seemed like the first three weeks it was the back of the bullpen before you get to some youth. “We’ll do Bauman again and we’ll move Crotchfelt up a day. We’ll go TBA on Sunday. With Bauman and Crotchfelt going Friday and Saturday that will be four left-handed pitchers going in a row (Tommy Vail, Konner Copeland). I can’t remember doing that in a while.” Offensively, Auburn will be without first baseman Cooper McMurray for possibly a few more weeks while dealing with an ankle injury. Both Bobby Peirce and Kason Howell are dealing with tight hamstrings and are still questionable for being back in the lineup in the outfield. Dealing with those situations has pushed young guys like Ike Irish and Chris Stanfield into the starting lineup with Irish at first base after serving as Auburn’s designated hitter the first three weeks. While it has meant some new faces in new spots, Foster said in the long run this will be good for this team to develop depth moving forward. “It’s going to help us a lot,” Foster said. “Losing Kason and Bobby has been huge, but it has given more guys chances. Stanfield has been out there the last week and he’s taken advantage of it. Mike Bello got in there and performed and made some good plays and had some good swings. It’s just helping us grow. “We realize that when those guys aren’t playing, other guys have to step in and fill that role. It’s definitely helping us grow more as a team due to the fact that we have to grow up.” Game times for the series are scheduled for 6 p.m. on Friday, 2 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday. Saturday and Sunday can be seen on SEC Network+. PROBABLE STARTERS Friday – Jr. LHP Tanner Bauman (1-0, 3.60) vs. R-So. RHP Brennan Stuprich (0-1, 7.45) Saturday – Fr.

No. 11 Auburn ready for last non-conference series against SELA - The Auburn Plainsman 4–5 minutes Riding a six-game winning streak, No. 11 Auburn hosts Southeastern Louisiana for a weekend series. Although the Tigers have had a long week with back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday, Auburn is ready for this weekend’s matchup. The last time Auburn faced Southeastern Louisiana was last summer during regionals, and the Tigers claimed a 19-7 win over the Lions. Auburn took an early 11-run lead in the first inning with a dominant performance from Cole Foster, who had three home runs and nine RBIs. “They were here last year and to speak on them a little bit, man, we just didn’t see their identity, and we didn’t allow them to do what they normally do, and that’s one way to attack it, but if you look for things that jump out to you about Southeastern Louisiana, they already have 10 wins in the season,” said head coach Butch Thompson. Southeastern Louisiana already has 138 runs, averaging 10.6 a game, and 117 hits, averaging nine. The Lions are ranked 13th in runs and fourth in stolen bases with 47. Whereas Auburn has collected 109 runs, averaging 8.4, and 141 hits, averaging 10.8. The Tigers are ranked 24th in hits and 27th in fielding percentage with .983. The Lions are a strong offensive team and will capitalize on any mistake the Tigers make on the field. Auburn must contain Southeastern Louisiana's offense to secure the win and minimize errors, especially on the mound. “Usually when somebody is that good at running the bases, they’re probably pretty good at picking up signs and doing things of that nature. So they got a lot of cat and mouse going on. They get a lot of action,” Thompson said. “As long as they’re in the ball game, that’s their identity, so we’re gonna have to be able to pitch good, keep those baserunners off, and keep ownership of home plate is big for us in this series.” Leading the Lion’s offense, fifth-year Tyler Finke has 22 runs, 15 hits, four doubles and one home run with a .375 batting average and a .550 slugging percentage. Senior Shea Thomas has 13 runs, 13 hits, three doubles and two home runs with a .310 avg and .524 SLG%. Sophomore TJ Salvaggio has 11 runs, 12 hits, two doubles, one triple and two home runs with a .293 avg and .537 SLG%. Thompson has already announced two of the three starters for the series. Similar to the Lipscomb matchup, Tanner Bauman opens for the Tigers on Friday, and Zach Crotchfelt will start on Saturday. Sunday’s starter is undecided. Joseph Gonzalez is throwing again, but Thompson decided to continue to keep him in the dugout until SEC play. Cooper McMurray will not play because of an ankle sprain and will be out for two-to-three weeks. The series starts Friday at 6 p.m. CST. Because of the weather, Sunday’s baseball game may be moved to Saturday, but Thompson stated that the decision will not be made until late afternoon Friday. “We’ll wait 24 hours to make any decisions. We might be forced to look at a Saturday doubleheader, which will be tough, but we always try to do the right thing,” Thompson said. Do you like this story?

'Simple, relaxed and smooth' Foster powers Tigers past SELA in series opener Jason Caldwell 5–6 minutes AUBURN, Alabama—Going 4-6 with three home runs and nine RBI in last year’s NCAA Regional game against Southeastern Louisiana, Auburn shortstop Bryson Ware picked up where he left off on Friday night with four hits and three runs batted in as the Tigers won for the seventh straight time, beating the Lions 7-1 to take the first game of the series. Scheduled to play single games on Saturday and Sunday, Auburn and SELA will now play a doubleheader on Saturday because of expected weather on Sunday. Game two will still be at 2 p.m. with the second game coming 30 minutes following the conclusion of game one. Both games can be seen on SEC Network+. Foster was again the hitting star for the Tigers, collecting four hits for the second-straight game after doing it Wednesday night in a win over Jacksonville State. He also added his second home run of the season and leaves with a batting average of .442 on the year. Auburn also got a pair of hits each from true freshmen Ike Irish and Chris Stanfield to lead the offense. "My thing is simple, relaxed and smooth," Foster said. "Those are kinda like my three words that I try to play by and I think that’s really been showing. That’s what I’ve been working on the most and I want to stay with it all year. "I think it goes back to the approach of not trying to do too much, staying within myself, getting my pitch early in the count and trying to do damage. I’m not seeing a beach ball or anything. We’re facing good arms and it just happens that I’m trying to stay short and simple and it’s been showing out lately." Getting the start on the mound for the Tigers, junior LHP Tanner Bauman gave Auburn a shot to win despite not having his best stuff. Pitching into the fifth inning before giving way to Parker Carlson, Bauman allowed one run on seven hits and struck out three. Coming on with a runner on second and no outs, Carlson struck out two in his only inning of work. Trevor Horne got two outs in his only inning of work before John Armstrong came on to finish the sixth. He would go the rest of the way to finish off the night for Auburn. "I don’t think it can be overstated how good of a job John Armstrong has done for this team early on," coach Butch Thompson said. "It’s tremendously early, but four wins and now he’s picking up a save. He’s been the Swiss Army Knife for this pitching staff and has done an amazing job. He’s helped us secure some series, but really helped us in the first game of a series to stay competitive and not have to use anybody else with what looks like a long day tomorrow." Following a pair of scoreless innings to open the game, Auburn’s offense finally got untracked in the bottom of the third to get the Tigers going. With one out, Kason Howell walked to bring Foster to the plate. Not trying to do too much, Foster pulled one through the right side for a single to put runners on first and second for the heart of the order. Patient at the plate, Justin Kirby walked to bring Irish to the plate. Already with a single to his credit on the night, Irish with the other way for a double to score two and put the Tigers on th board. A Bryson Ware fly ball pushed across Kirby to make it 3-0 Auburn. Getting through four innings without allowing a run, Bauman ran into big trouble to open the fifth when Tyler Finke singled and scored on a Jake Killingsworth double to the gap. Entering the game with a runner in scoring position, Carlson got a ground ball for the first out before back-to-back strikeouts ended the frame and kept Auburn in front by two. "Parker Carlson did a nice little job for us and got a couple of big outs in that vulnerable situation from the starter to the first reliever," Thompson said. "We were about to get out of that inning." One inning later the Tigers would extend the lead thanks to one big swing of the bat from Foster. First, Auburn would get some help from Lion pitching as walks to Nate LaRue and Howell put a pair of runners on base for Foster. Getting a 1-0 pitch over the heart of the plate, Foster hammered it deep over the right field fence for his second home run of the season. That gave Auburn a five-run lead, but he wasn’t done. In the bottom of the eighth, Howell led things off with a double to left. When the throw from the SELA left fielder got away at second, the senior advanced to third. Foster needed just one pitch to add to the lead with a single to center field making it 7-1 Tigers. Armstrong would finish things off to earn his first save of the season. He didn’t allow a hit in the final three and one/thirds innings to secure the victory. 3COMMENTS BOX SCORE ">247Sports

si.com Takeaways from Auburn's game one win over SE Louisiana Andrew Stefaniak 2–3 minutes What did we learn from Auburn's 7-1 win over SE Louisiana? Auburn took game one of the series over Southeastern Louisiana 7-1. The Tigers had 11 hits and only allowed one earned run. Auburn looked great in all three phases of the game, leading to the big win. Auburn was facing a good ball club in SE Louisiana that likes to manufacture runs. Auburn didn't let that happen today, and this was a big part of the wide margin of victory. What did we learn from Auburn's game one win over SE Louisiana? Cole Foster is on a hot streak Eric Starling/Auburn Daily Cole Foster went 4-5 in this ball game with four rbi's and scored twice. This makes him 8-11 with four homers in two games against SE Louisiana. This is Foster's second straight four-hit ball game, so it is safe to say he is on a hot streak. For Auburn to go on a run this season, the veteran Foster will need to stay hot at the dish and continue to play the excellent defense he has to start the season. John Armstrong's dominance continues Eric Starling/Auburn Daily John Armstrong has been automatic to start the season, and that dominance continued in this game. He went 3.1 innings hitless with one strikeout and six groundouts. His stuff looked really good in this ball game. It was easy to tell since he was able to saw off so many bats with his power sinker. Armstrong is on pace to be one of the best relievers in the league this year, and Auburn will need this to continue throughout the season since bullpen depth is a big question mark for this ball club. Auburn continues to play great defense Eric Starling/Auburn Daily One thing that has not been talked about this season is their defense. Auburn has fielded the ball great this season, and that trend continued in this ball game. Chris Stanfield and Kason Howell can run down anything hit their way, and the entire infield has been sure-handed fielding ground balls this season. Good defense wins ball games. Auburn being 12-1-1 on this season has a lot to do with their terrific defense. Engage with Auburn Daily on Socials!

Access Hollywood Tape Can Be Used in Trump Rape Trial: Judge Nikki McCann Ramirez 6–7 minutes Skip to main content Rape Trial Judge Slaps Down Trump’s Bid to Bury Access Hollywood Tape The tape that features Trump bragging about assaulting women can be used in the civil lawsuit brought against him by E. Jean Carroll Former President Donald Trump speaks to reporters before his speech at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center on March 4, 2023 in National Harbor, Maryland. Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images A federal judge has ruled that notorious Access Hollywood tape, in which former President Donald Trump brags about groping women, can be admitted as evidence in the civil rape lawsuit brought against him by author E. Jean Carroll. “In this case, a jury reasonably could find […] that Mr. Trump admitted in the Access Hollywood tape that he in fact has had contact with women’s genitalia in the past without their consent, or that he has attempted to do so,” wrote U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in his opinion. Trump had previously attempted to block the tape’s admission into evidence, claiming his statements in the tape could be misrepresented to jurors as an admission that Trump committed an assault against Carroll. Kaplan, however, deferred to statutes that allow “evidence that the [defendant] committed any other sexual assault” to be admitted in “a civil case involving a claim for relief based on a party’s alleged sexual assault.” Judge Kaplan also ruled that he will allow the introduction of Natasha Stoynoff and Jessica Leeds as witnesses in the trials. Both women came forward with accusations of assault against Trump in 2016. The former president has denied the accusations from all three women. Trending In 2019, Carroll accused Trump of having assaulted her in the dressing room of a department store in the ‘90s. Carroll wrote that Trump held her against the wall of the dressing room and forced her to engage in intercourse. Carroll filed a defamation lawsuit after Trump denied the allegation and called her claims a “hoax.” In Nov. 2019, following the passage of New York’s Adult Survivors Act, a separate suit was filed to bring charges of battery against the former president. The defamation case now awaits a decision by D.C.’s appellate court to determine if the suit will be allowed to proceed. An initial trial date has been scheduled for late April. Judge Kaplan is also expected to make a decision regarding whether the trials will be combined.

their only answer anymore is "you just hate trump". lol hell it is all they can say. i betcha hillary would never have tried to steal the election. grins you know that hurts the trumpers bad.

al.com Charles Barkley: Alabama’s Brandon Miller ‘lucky’ he was not charged, should have received ‘time out’ Published: Mar. 09, 2023, 6:30 a.m. 5–6 minutes In mid-January, Charles Barkley declared Alabama the best basketball team in the nation. “And that’s painful for me to say,” the Auburn legend confessed at the time, speaking on “The Next Round” podcast. Now, though, he wonders. Now, in the wake of the tragic killing of 23-year-old Jamea Jonea Harris, mother to a five-year-old boy, just days before his remarks. Now, in the wake of the subsequent capital murder charges against a former Tide player, and the cloud that still lingers over the program due to its questionable handling of subsequent events—especially the peripheral involvement of star player Brandon Miller. He wonders if the Tide team that has struggled of late and slipped from its place atop the national rankings can reclaim the stride he saw in January and make a run at the national title. “I don’t think they can get it back,” Barkley told AL.com. Former Tide player Darius Miles, 21, was one of two suspects, along with 20-year-old Michael “Buzz” Davis, charged with capital murder in the January 15 early Sunday morning shooting on the Tuscaloosa strip. Records indicate Davis fired the shots that killed Harris, while Miles supplied the gun. Davis is said to have acted after Harris, who was with her boyfriend, refused his advances. Access complete coverage here. “You wake up one morning and you’re having a good life, then a woman gets killed and you’re probably going to jail for the rest of your life,” the NBA Hall of Famer and TNT analyst said. “One bad decision and lives are lost.” During a hearing in February, police testified that Miller brought the gun (owned by Miles) to the scene of the killing after being asked to do so by Miles. Miller, the Tide’s top scorer, was not charged with a crime. “There’s nothing we could charge him with,” said deputy D.A. Paula Whitley. In a statement, Miller’s attorney, Jim Standridge said: “Brandon never touched the gun, was not involved in its exchange to Mr. Davis in any way, and never knew that illegal activity involving the gun would occur.” Alabama law states someone can be found guilty of being an accessory to a crime only if they assist another “with the intent to promote or assist the commission of the offense.” Tide player Jaden Bradley was also at the scene and was not charged. What transpired next, though, was a calamity of ill-chosen, unempathetic words and actions that, to many, appeared tone-deaf relative to the tragedy and its impact on Harris’ family and loved ones. Head coach Nate Oats uttered what he later admitted were “unfortunate” remarks” - that Miller “was in the wrong place at the wrong time,” while failing to acknowledge Harris. “In no way did I intend to downplay the seriousness of this situation or the tragedy of that night,” Oats later said. “My prayers continue to go out to Jamea Harris’s family.” RELATED: Johnson: Why is Alabama still playing with blood-stained basketball? Alabama officials “collectively” decided Miller should play and not sit out any games. In an appearance on ESPN prior to the Tide’s February 22 game on the road against South Carolina, AD Greg Byrne said that Miller and Bradley were not considered suspects and were cooperative with investigators weighed heavy in the decision. After the appearance, the university issued a statement saying Miller would remain an “active member of the team.” He’s played in every game since the shooting and on Tuesday was named first-team All-America by The Sports News and SEC Player of the Year. Barkley believes Alabama made the wrong call regarding Miller. “He should have been given a time out to learn decisions have consequences,” he said. “He’s lucky Alabama is behind the times. In forty-nine other states, he probably would have been charged with a crime.” Despite being taunted by Gamecock fans, Miller scored a career-high 41 points in the Tide’s narrow 78-76 win. He’s subsequently averaged 20 points per game—though Barkley’s senses the weight of the last few weeks in impacting Miller. “He came out and had a monster game [against South Carolina], but he hasn’t played well since then,” Barkley said. “I think the pressure is getting to him. Everybody’s talking about [the killing] and he’s got to hear it. The pressure’s only going to get worse. a**hole fans will be on him.

Auburn football earns crystal ball for four-star WR Cam Coleman Lance Dawe 2–3 minutes Auburn football is in the running for one of the best wide receivers in the 2024 recruiting class. Auburn football is in the running for one of the best wide receivers in the 2024 recruiting class. Cameron Coleman, a four-star receiver out of Central High School (Phenix City, AL) has just received a prediction to land at Auburn. Keith Niebuhr of On3's Auburn Live just submitted an expert prediction for Coleman to commit to the Tigers. He has 50% confidence in his prediction. Coleman just recently received offers from Florida and LSU. He currently holds offers from 11 SEC schools, as well as Ohio State, Texas, Oregon, Michigan, and Florida State, among others. The 6-foot-3, 175 pound wide receiver is the No. 152 prospect nationally according to the 247Sports composite rankings. He is also the No. 26 wide receiver in the 2024 class. The Tigers have been looking for a bigger-bodied receiver to utilize on the outside since the departure of Seth Williams in 2020. Coleman could end up being that dude. Hugh Freeze was known at Ole Miss for finding success with taller, physical receivers that could knock defenders down and make contested catches. The Tigers would be lucky to land Coleman's services, given the pursuit from so many other prestigious programs. Freeze and his staff already have three commitments - four-star cornerbacks Jayden Lewis and A'Mon Lane as well as four-star quarterback Walker White.
