President Joe Biden, who spoke at the memorial on Tuesday, can be seen in video of the service picking up a toy for Evans' daughter and returning it to her after she dropped it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi acknowledges the sweet exchange as she delivers remarks saying, "Greater compliment does no one have than the President of the United States looking after your toys."

41-year-old Evans was killed in the line of duty on April 2 when a vehicle rammed into him and another officer at a barricade near the U.S. Capitol. The driver of the vehicle, 25-year-old Noah Green, was armed with a knife and was shot to death by police during the incident, officials said. The investigation into the attack is still ongoing.
