I was watching the live coverage for a while, I heard the news anchor mention the shooting of one of the protestors. But only today, after 24 hours, the death count seems to have risen and apparently a police officer was killed.
I am not saying that it could not have happened, I am just wondering if they have somehow managed find ways to add fuel to the fire.
No
NPR just issued a retraction.

Thread See new Tweets Conversation NPR @NPR CORRECTION: U.S. Capitol Police say the report that one of its officers had died is not accurate.
“Although some officers were injured and hospitalized yesterday, no USCP officers have passed away,” they said.
We incorrectly reported the death.
What I saw on it so far is that somebody hit an officer with a fire extinguisher and they were on life support, but then were taken off it and passed away.
The perp is most likely one of the Antifa members that infiltrated and were LET in by police.
Of course, the media will blame us though rather than the known terrorist organization that has been terrorizing this country all year long.
What, the left likes police officers now?
It’s possible I heard one got roughed up pretty bad on the front side but who knows, I was in the back side from beginning to end right up front I didn’t see anything, a few got shoved around inside from vids floating around but they were all respected I didn’t see anyone get hurt....
