Authorities confirmed Huttle was armed but have not disclosed further details. The deputy has been placed on paid leave while the incident is investigated,,
Huttle, who believed the FBI orchestrated the Capitol riot on January 6 and accused “actors” with excessive training of being involved, has drawn attention amid ongoing debates about the consequences of the attack and Trump’s pardons. Authorities expressed condolences to his family.
