A car crash in Georgia on Saturday killed a Capitol Police recruit and injured five others.

The recruits were off duty at the time and had been training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Brunswick, Georgia.

Congressional leaders lamented the death of Capitol Police Officer recruit Christopher Katz on Monday morning.

“Our prayers are with his family and we will honor his memory when the House returns on Tuesday,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Committee on House Administration Ranking Member Joe Morelle (D-NY) said. “It is a tragic day with the news that several USCP recruits were involved in that fatal accident while in Georgia and are dealing with serious injuries. The entire House Democratic Caucus family is praying for their swift recovery.” 

“Each and every day, the Capitol Police put their lives on the line to ensure that the United States Congress, the crown jewel of representative Democracy, can safely do the people’s work,” they said. “It is with admiration and gratitude for the life and death work of the USCP that we pray for the loved ones of Recruit Officer Katz and all of those reeling from this tragedy.” 

The recruits were transported via a “life flight” to nearby Jacksonville, Florida, a source told Fox News.

“We were devastated to learn that a fatal car crash in Glynn County, Georgia took the life of one of our recruit officers over the weekend,” a Capitol Police statement said.

“The Georgia State Police continue their investigation,” the statement added. “The recruit officers joined our Department in November. We have wellness resources available for our entire Department during this difficult time.”
