‘He was proud to be a Capitol police officer’: Wife of slain officer speaks out

One year ago, Capitol police officer Billy Evans died in the line of duty when an intruder rammed his car past a checkpoint and slammed into Evans and another officer. Evans' former wife, Shannon Terranova, speaks publicly for the first time with CNN's Jake Tapper about her husband and how he'll be remembered. #CNN #News

  1. Yes, you can see his light even in pictures, so sorry Shannon and all those who loved this precious soul, may you be supported by those who surround you. RIP Billy Evans

  2. Wow this is incredible. Shoutout to Billy Evans RIP 🙏🏾 🕊 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

  3. I hope his wife and kids grow knowing how honored how Americans feel grateful for his service and ultimate sacrifice

    1. @Suzy Q Thank you for being normal.
      Seems lately life has been taken for granted, and the word gracious is deteriorating.

  4. I know this has nothing to do with Jan 6 Th , but after the way those police officer’s were treated by the GOP when 2 or 3 of them committed suicide really makes me physically ill ! They do not deserve protection when they called that day “TOURISTS ” and this poor man is just another victim protecting people that do not deserve protection, poor lady , God Bless, RIP….

    1. I’m not American but why would police officers commit suicide because of Jan 6. Does it ever enter your heads that something about that is wrong.

    2. @Millie Me Its when they can’t handle thr trauma related to a situation. They end up with PTSD and other issues and its messed up because they were doing their job. Paramedics, police officers, firemen, docs,nurses etc are at increased risk of suicide after a huge event like this even when the situation turns out positively. Its heartbreaking

      If that was the case then why was his wife not give a CNN interview.?
      Oh wait I remember at that time they were too busy saying he was killed in the capital.

  5. I am crying my eyes out! Bless her and her children 🙏🏼 And thanks for his department to come and help her manage their lives now!

    1. Donald Trump and his fan’s cant stop thinking about Hillary Clinton, it’s like she’s the one that got away and they cant quit her🇺🇸

  6. At least we have the Biden administration. They are competent and also have America’s best interest close to their heart.

      And it’s amazing what a scalp reduction, blonde hair dye, makeup and tan cream do to Donald Trump’s appearance😆

  8. My heart goes out to this woman, her kids and his department. May god bless them all and keep them safe.

    1. @Ryan E.Smith What’s religion got to do with this?? So you’re saying the Insurrectionists only comprised Christians??

    2. @Cardin Brooks, well said, but i think it may have gone right over his head, making it a probable waste of time on Your part, but at least You tried…

  9. It kinda irritates me to hear that the people that this man was PROTECTING WITH HIS LIFE WAS “ALLOWED” TO HAVE HIS CASKET SIT IN THE ROTUNDA..It’s like wow you people don’t do anything more than rip off the Americans but this mans job, protecting all of you, and never knowing when his last day of duty would be which was tragically cut short… But his casket was allowed..wow
    This man and the entire crew deserves way more…R.I.P TO THIS UNFORGETTABLE OFFICER AND CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY

  10. My condolences to the wife and his children.
    But this cop wasn’t slain. He was in bad health unable to cope with the stress of his job.
