阿波羅網記者李文波編譯,美國媒體《網關專家》周日(1月10日)報道,國會山警官霍華德·利本古德(Howard Liebengood)自殺身亡。
消息人士稱,列本古德警官周六自殺,當時他沒有在上班。美國國會警察當局(United States Capitol Police)在利本古德警官去世後發表的聲明稱,利本古德警官是反擊1月6日衝擊國會大廈的警官之一。

儘管這位警官是死於自殺的消息已經被廣泛的報道,但是主流媒體仍然試圖把這位警官的死和美國國會大廈的抗議活動聯繫起來。
列本古德於2005年加入國會警察局,並被分配到參議院,他是前參議院警長霍華德·列本古德(Howard S. Liebengood)的兒子。
USCP officer Howard Liebengood, who died off duty, is the son of former Senate Sergeant at Arms Howard S. Liebengood. The elder Liebengood was Sergeant at Arms from 1981-1983.

列本古德的去世,加劇了周三騷亂後國會大廈執法部門的動盪。美國國會大廈警察局長史蒂文·桑德(Steven Sund)在被批處理國會大廈抗議不利之後,於周五辭職。
眾議院警長保羅·歐文(Paul Irving)和參議院警長米高·斯坦格(Michael Stenger)也都辭去了職務。目前的聯邦當局正準備迎接反對喬拜登1月20日就職典禮的右翼示威。
