A man who shot and killed himself out of U.S. Rep. Beth Van Duyne’s Irving home Wednesday was a former staffer of the freshman Republican congresswoman and a GOP activist, officials said.

The Irving Police Department confirmed his identity to The Dallas Morning News Thursday as Richard Christian “Chris” Dillard, 55. He was Van Duyne’s communications director for her campaign from November 2019 to April 2020, according to his LinkedIn profile, which shows him pictured with Texas GOP Chairman Allen West. Dillard was a member of the Texas State Guard, The Texas Military Department Public Affairs staff confirmed Thursday.

Dillard shot himself and died by suicide Wednesday, police said. Van Duyne, a freshman Republican, was home at the time, according to spokeswoman Amanda Gonzalez Thompson.

Van Duyne called police after she heard a shot and saw a body on her front walkway at around 3:45 p.m. Van Duyne had been participating in a Transportation and Infrastructure Committee’s budget meeting at the time.

2. I posted this on Facebook yesterday, and ironically was accused of not being empathetic because...

I captioned it with this: Racist Republican Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, who committed sedition, is being questioned by the FBI after one of her staffers committed suicide in her driveway.

Was told her racism and sedition had nothing to do with this man's death.

However, we don't know what the connection was. I think her character matters considering he killed himself in her driveway. We don't know why he killed himself.

The whole thing is fishy to me.

3. I wonder if he was involved in the insurrection on 1/6?

Sad any way you look at it. Demons from somewhere.
