A Texas man has been sentenced to nearly seven years in prison for storming the U.S. Capitol and joining an attack on the House chamber when police shot and killed another rioter.
. Only seven rioters have received longer prison sentences than Grider so far, according to an Associated Press review of court records.
Prosecutors had sought a 10-month term of imprisonment for Sirr, a U.S. Army veteran who has worked as a reactor engineer at the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center, where the state's only nuclear reactor is located. Outside the Capitol, Grider helped other rioters dismantle police barricades and picked up a discarded police helmet.
