Capitol Police Officer William “Billy” F. Evans, a graduate of Western New England University in Springfield, was killed Friday after a man rammed a car into him and another officer at a barricade outside the U.S. Capitol and then emerged wielding a knife. It was the second line-of-duty death this year for a department still struggling to heal from the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Evans, a North Adams native, grew up in Clarksburg and graduated from Drury High School in 1998, according to public records and his Facebook page. Following his graduation from WNEU in 2002, he moved to Virginia and was hired by Capitol Police on March 7, 2003.
