Pentagon identifies police officer killed in attack

The Pentagon police officer slain at the Arlington, Virginia, transit center Tuesday was identified as George Gonzalez, an Iraq War veteran.

The police officer stabbed and then fatally shot during an attack at the Pentagon's bus terminal on Tuesday has been identified as George Gonzalez, a Brooklyn native and Iraq War veteran who joined the Pentagon police force in 2018. Gonzalez was killed Tuesday after being stabbed by a man identified by the FBI on Wednesday as Austin William Lanz, 27, of Acworth, Georgia. In a series of tweets, the FBI said the assailant exited a bus at the transit center in Arlington, Virginia, and -- without provocation -- attacked Gonzalez with a knife, severely wounding him. Two law enforcement sources told ABC News Tuesday that Gonzalez was stabbed in the head from behind and then disarmed.
