BREAKING: Man who rammed car in Capitol Police was Nation of Islam follower

We don't yet know what motivated the 25-year-old man who rammed his car targeting U.S. Capitol Police officers on Good Friday. William "Billy" Evans a Capitol Police officer was killed in the incident, and one other officer was injured and is doing well. 

The perpetrator exited his vehicle with a long knife and was shot and killed. He has since been identified and what we know now is that his Facebook page identified him as jobless and a follower of Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam, an anti-Semitic and anti-America hate group.

What we now know is that it's Good Friday and the killer was a follower of the Nation of Islam.

Officer Evans was an 18-year veteran of the force.

D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Robert J. Contee III said that the incident did not appear to be terrorism related, and that there was no ongoing threat.

In a recent post documented by Mediaite, he wrote a religious message related to the Nation of Islam.

"Peace, friends, family, enemies, and the like," the attacker wrote in March. "To be honest these past few years have been tough, and these past few months have been tougher. I have been tried with some of the biggest, unimaginable tests in my life. I am currently now unemployed after I left my job partly due to afflictions, but ultimately, in search of a spiritual journey."

That Facebook page was quickly scrubbed from the internet after many circulated screenshots. His name will not be used on this blog, and his photo hides his identification. I don't wish to glorify people who do such horrible things.

So, putting what facts we know about this guy, it's very possible he was motivated by Islamic jihad. Thus far, Louis Farrakhan has not spoken about this attack.
