Just FYI no death has been officially linked to a "rioter", no firearms have been found in connection with it. Sites like ZH are tracking all this, because to many it smells like yet another staging of political capital.
> “No firearms have been found in connection with it”
This takes moments to search, skipping all the news sites, fake or otherwise, and going to sources:
“Grand Jury ... Indictment ... Count One: On or about Jan 6 2021, within the District of Columbia, Christopher Alberts did carry and have readily accessible, a firearm, that is, a Taurus G2C semi-automatic handgun, on the US Capitol Grounds and in any of the Capitol Buildings.”
Also had a “large capacity ammunition feeding device”.
Separately, the police officer who died is now suspected to be linked to a particular assailant, but through bear spray not fire extinguisher:
“The F.B.I. has pinpointed an assailant in its investigation into the death of Brian D. Sicknick, a Capitol Police officer who was injured while fending off the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol last month and later died, according to two law enforcement officials briefed on the inquiry.”
“The F.B.I. opened a homicide investigation into Officer Sicknick’s death soon after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Investigators initially struggled to determine what had happened as he fought assailants. They soon began to suspect his death was related to an irritant, like mace or bear spray, that he had inhaled during the riot. Both officers and rioters were armed with such irritants during the attack.”
“In a significant breakthrough in the case, investigators have now pinpointed a person seen on video of the riot who attacked several officers with bear spray, including Officer Sicknick, according to the officials. And video evidence shows that the assailant discussed attacking officers with the bear spray beforehand, one of the officials said.”
It does not say it’s a rioter, exactly, only that the person was on video of the riot, and discussed attacking officers beforehand.

This individual brought an arsenal, indicted for bringing into the District, not the Capitol building but “in connection”:

Sometimes also called a "magazine." It would be an odd thing to be absent.
