Probably just the first:
The man shot dead Sunday by Jasper County police while allegedly resisting arrest has been identified as 42-year-old Hobart, Indiana, resident Matthew W. Huttle, who was among those presumably pardoned last week by President Trump for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol building.
Details are few as the shooting investigation continues, but state police said a deputy with the Jasper County Sheriff's Department stopped a vehicle around 4:15 p.m. Sunday on Ind. 14, east of County Road 475 East.
"During the traffic stop, the officer attempted to arrest the suspect when the suspect resisted," according to state police. "An altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect."
It appears the stop was routine and the result of an alleged traffic violation, according to police.

"The investigation also shows that during the traffic stop, the suspect was in possession of a firearm," police said.
State police are leading the investigation of the shooting with assistance from the Jasper County Prosecutor's Office.
Huttle, then 40, was charged with videotaping his entry into the Capitol’s Senate Wing on Jan. 6, 2021 and walking through multiple locations inside, according to photos in court documents. The photos show security footage of Huttle on the first floor of the Capitol and screenshots of his own footage taken while inside.
He was sentenced to six months in federal prison to be followed by a year of supervised release, records show. He was reportedly released from prison July 17.
Matthew was reportedly with his uncle, Dale Huttle, of Crown Point, Indiana, during the Capitol breach.
Dale was sentenced last year in federal court to 30 months behind bars after pleading guilty to one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon and causing serious bodily injury. Dale Huttle said in court that him and his nephew were separated during the “chaos” of the event. However, Dale caused an officer to fall on a set of stairs, which led to the officer suffering from a slipped disc in his back.
Photos of Dale show him assaulting police officers with an American flag and grabbing for an officer’s baton.
Jasper County Sheriff Patrick Williamson said the officer involved in Sunday's shooting has been placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard protocol.
"Our condolences go out to the family of the deceased as any loss of life is traumatic to those that were close to Mr. Huttle," Williamson said. "I will release the officer's name once I have approval from the state police detectives."
Sunday's fatal shooting comes about two months after Jasper County police were cleared in the death of 26-year-old Valparaiso, Indiana, native Rhyker Earl.
