Vet who killed Iraqi civilian ordered to jail on Capitol riot charges.

A military veteran who killed an Iraqi civilian nearly 20 years ago has been ordered to be jailed on charges that he used a metal baton to assault police officers during the US Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Edward Richmond Jr., 40, was found to be a danger to the community, and he was initially released after his arrest on January 22. FBI agents discovered an AR-15 assault rifle in Richmond's home in Louisiana, as he is prohibited from possessing firearms following his 2004 manslaughter conviction for fatally shooting an Iraqi cow herder.
