WASHINGTON D.C. – Noah Green, the man police alleged rammed his car into two U.S. Capitol Police officers at a security barricade Friday before jumping out of the car with a knife, bought the weapon at a D.C. store hours before the deadly attack. D.C. Green apparently bought the knife at District Cutlery in Union Market approximately 90 minutes before the deadly rampage on Capital Hill. Then hours later, he drove to the Capitol and rammed his car into two officers at a barricade, killing Officer William “Billy” Evans. After ramming the officers, Green then exited the car armed with the knife and charged at another officer before the officer shot him, police said. Green died at the hospital. The weapon Green purchased was a $300 Kurosaki Shizuku Sujihiki Slicing knife.

Deadly Rampage at The U.S. Capital Prompts Call for Improved Security
(Photo credit: Gary Raynaldo ©Diplomatic Times) U.S. Capital Hill area three days after Capitol Police officer was killed Friday Apr. 2, 2021 when vehicle “rammed” into a barricade outside the Capitol complex.
An editorial in the Washington Post April 6 said Friday’s attack “was a reminder of the tragic toll on Capital Police” and there is an “urgent” need for improved security.
“Since the U.S. Capital Police was founded in 1828, seven officers have died in the line of duty. Two of those deaths occurred this year within the space of less than three months. That fact underscores the increased danger that confronts the men and women who guard the Capital and the need for urgency in improving security at the complex.”
