An Indiana man recently pardoned by President Donald Trump for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol has been shot and killed by a sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop.

Just after 4 p.m. on Sunday, a Jasper County Sheriff’s deputy pulled over 42-year-old Matthew Huttle of Hobart, Indiana State Police said in news release.

While trying to arrest Huttle, police say he resisted and began struggling with the deputy.

"An altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect," police said.

Police added that Huttle "was in possession of a firearm" during the traffic stop but did not say whether he wielded the weapon or where exactly it was found.

“For full transparency, I requested the Indiana State Police to investigate this officer-involved shooting,” Jasper County Sheriff Patrick Williamson said in a statement. “Our condolences go out to the family of the deceased as any loss of life is traumatic to those that were close to Mr. Huttle.”

Oh for sure. The cop shouldn't get a pass just cause I don't like the victim. I'm just finding it hard to find sympathy for him

100%, sorry if it sounded like I was in any way disagreeing.

Nah, it's way easier to take stuff here and assume tone or meaning in a positive light than I ever could in Reddit lol. You're good!
