U.S. Attorney Wainstein added that, "Members of Congress are fortunate to have the protection and the service of one of the finest police forces in the country. We ask the U.S. Capitol Police to protect our Capitol and to do so in a way that minimizes disruption and makes all feel welcome. This is a tremendously difficult job, and it is one that Officer McKenna and his colleagues perform with the utmost professionalism and dignity."

This decision by the grand jury concludes the investigation of this incident.
