The update comes after the force announced that Capitol Police Officer William "Billy" Evans was killed when a man, reportedly identified as Noah Green, rammed a car into a barrier at the Capitol.

Green was later shot to death by police when he got out of the car and allegedly lunged at responding officers with a knife. 

The injured officer has yet to be identified.

The car and knife attack Friday came less than three months after the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill.

Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died of the injuries he suffered after coming in contact with the pro-Trump mob, while two other police officers on the scene later died by suicide. 

Lawmakers throughout the day said they were keeping the Capitol Police officers in their thoughts.

“The news from the Capitol is heartbreaking. Our @CapitolPolice have been through way too much this year, and they continue to sacrifice for our protection. My sincerest condolences to the families of the fallen and injured officers,” tweeted Rep. Blake Moore (R-Utah).
