Another U.S. military veteran identified as one of the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol.
A rioter seen in photos and video wearing military gear on the Senate floor during the assault on the Capitol is identified as retired Air Force lieutenant colonel Larry Rendall Brock, Jr. of Texas. Brock confirmed to the New Yorker Friday he’s the man in those photos. The FBI and police are determined to arrest the rioters but military veterans who took part in the siege may also face charges from the Pentagon. The Supreme Court ruled two years ago the Defense Department can prosecute veterans for crimes after retirement. Carmen Roberts. Fox News.
The woman shot and killed by police during the attack, Ashli Babbit, was also an Air Force veteran.
