“This is how I’m going to die,” Sgt. Aquilino Gonell says he thought to himself as he was losing oxygen while being crushed and attacked by rioters. - NBCLatino
Gonell described the clash with violent supporters of then-President Donald Trump as akin to being on a medieval battleground, “hand to hand, inch by inch” and as a “prolonged and desperate battle” in which he heard one of the officers who testified — D.C. Police Officer Daniel Hodges — screaming in pain.
Despite that, after a brief time at home, he returned to the Capitol, setting aside his wife's concerns, he said. Gonell expressed anger that the attackers called themselves patriots and attacked police with the American flag.
