US Capitol attacker may have suffered head trauma from playing football, family says

The deranged driver who fatally rammed a police officer before being gunned down outside the US Capitol on Friday may have suffered repeated head trauma during years of playing football, his family said Saturday.

Green had been studying for his master’s degree in business administration — but also suffered from "depression and potential mental illness," the family said. His troubles may have stemmed from head trauma that accumulated over his years playing football, including as a defensive back at Christopher Newport University in Virginia, they said.
