occurred between 13:39 local and 13:41 local during the storming of the
US Capitol on 6 January 2021 when a line of police officers, possibly
including Smith, were sprayed with what was identified as bear spray.]

Smith couldn't recall the specific individual who sprayed him. He

recalled being sprayed. He was unable to continue his duties following being
