It was widely reported that the Capitol cop that died had been hit by a fire extinguisher and later died from those injuries.

This assault must not be related to that incident since the man arrested was not charged with that crime.

Were there multiple assaults with fire extinguishers or did the Capitol cop receive his lethal injuries in some other manner?

Ex-Firefighter Accused of Throwing Fire Extinguisher Charged in US Capitol Breach....

A retired Pennsylvania firefighter has been arrested and charged for allegedly striking police officers with a fire extinguisher during the U.S. Capitol riots, the Justice Department announced.

A criminal complaint identified the man as 55-year-old Robert Sanford, who has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly or disruptive conduct on capitol grounds, civil disorder, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers while engaged in the performance of official duties.

Prosecutors are alleging that Sanford is the man in a video who threw what appears to be a fire extinguisher at three U.S. Capitol Police officers at the lower west terrace of the Capitol.

After the fire extinguisher was thrown, it hit one officer in the head, according to a video (pdf) reviewed by federal authorities. That officer was wearing a helmet. The fire extinguisher ricochets and hits two other officers in the head. One of those officers was not wearing a helmet at the time. The man, identified as Sanford, allegedly turned and moved in an opposite direction after throwing the object.

Authorities were able to identify Sanford after a tipster told the FBI that Sanford had confessed to them that he was the person the bureau was looking for. The tipster told agents that Sanford had traveled to Washington on a bus with a group of people and had gone to the U.S. Capitol....

They only charged him with felony assaults, so not likely the killer. Have to say, the ahole needs to sit in jail for a few decades.

You’re intentionally glossing over the fact that an ironic firefighter tried to harm someone with a fire extinguisher.

To be a leftist you have to intentionally ignore dozens of facts per day so you really have no standing to say this

And to be a humorless person you would have to ignore the hilarious irony of someone whose occupation involves using fire extinguishers to protect people from harm instead using one to harm people.

Why do you feel that needed to be highlighted? The irony is so obvious that it really doesn't need to be pointed out.

As far as it being hilarious, well not so much if there were innocent people harmed.

I want to make clear that in no way do I mean to minimize the seriousness of this charge.

Certainly charges are warranted but this man is hardly the 2nd coming of Timothy McVeigh.
