WASHINGTON — Two years after the Jan. 6 attack, U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn says he's still dealing with the emotional scars from that day.
Dunn, who struggled to defend the Capitol amid the hours of violence, described how his PTSD flared up this past fall.
"But it was all just like out of nowhere just ripped away from me. And it wasn't a specific incident that caused it. Man, I thought I had this under control. I beat this," he said."But no, it literally just came out of nowhere and it broke me, you know it broke me."Nearly 140 officers from both the Washington's Metropolitan Police Department and the Capitol Police were injured when pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol, according to a recent estimate by the U.S.
On Friday, Dunn and fellow officers will be awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal -- the nation's second-highest civilian honor -- from President Joe Biden.
