The Pentagon Force Protection Agency identified Officer George Gonzalez as the officer killed in Tuesday’s attack near the Pentagon, The Washington Post reports. Gonzalez, a U.S. Army vet who served in Iraq, was allegedly stabbed in the neck by Austin William Lanz, a 27-year old from Georgia, who was then fatally shot by officers. Lanz previously enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps but never earned a title, CNN reports. He was also arrested on several charges in April including burglary, criminal trespassing and two counts aggravated battery on a police officer. The Pentagon was on lockdown Tuesday after Lanz attacked Gonzalez and shot several others on a bus transit platform near the Department of Defense headquarters.
