Noah Green’s Background

Green was a 25-year-old man originally from Indiana, according to MSNBC. At some point, he moved to Norfolk, Virginia, but it is not clear when. However, a bio on the Christopher Newport University website says that Greene is originally Fairlea, West Virginia. The car used in the attack had Virginia license plates, but it is not clear if it belonged to Green or someone else.

Bio

Green played as a defensive back for the university's football team. The bio also lists his hometown as Covington, Virginia. According to the website, he is the son of Mazie and Newotn Green and has seven sisters and two brothers. He was reportedly majoring in business at the university.

NBC journalist Tom Winter was one of the first to name Green publicly. In a tweet, he said, "the suspect is a follower of the Nation of Islam, law enforcement officials say. Recent social media posts indicate he was unemployed and dealing with several personal issues."

Green's Facebook page is reportedly filled with multiple references to the Nation of Islam. In one, he shared a “certificate of completion” from the Nation of Islam. According to the certificate, he was awarded it for “recognition of your sacrifice in making your word bond and completing your 2021 saviors’ day gift in the amount of $1,085.” Another post said he was dealing with many challenges, which he called “some of the biggest, unimaginable tests.” He also called himself Noah X, after his icon Malcolm X. Green also described himself as a “Follower of Farrakhan”, in reference to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

At the time of the attack, Green was looking for guidance after losing his job. Associated Press reported that as of now, Green does not seem to be linked to the January 6 insurrection. Not much else is known about Green at this time. We will update this story when we hear more.

Noah’s CNU biography mentioned that the person in history he’d most like to visit is Malcom X.

Robert Contee, acting chief of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, said that his department would take over the investigation. “It does not appear to be terrorism-related,” Contee said.”

The attack on Capitol Police Officers

Noah Green hit Capitol Police officers as he crashed into a barricade and ran at officers with a knife Friday.

The attack left a veteran U.S. Capitol Police officer dead and another hospitalized. Authorities shot Green, who died after being taken to an area hospital.

Investigators were digging into his background and examining whether he had any mental health history as they tried to discern a motive. They were working to obtain warrants to access his online accounts.

Capitol Police Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman said the suspect did not appear to have been on the police’s radar. But the attack underscored that the building and campus — and the officers charged with protecting them — remain potential targets for violence.

Noah’s motive

D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Robert J. Contee III said Green's attack did not "appear to be terrorism-related."

Contee said police are investigating to determine Green's motive. He said Green was not known to either D.C. Police or the USCP and was not previously considered a threat to lawmakers.

People who went to school with Green and played sports with him growing up described him as the average jock: athletic, popular, even working at a gym in college.

The violence on Friday, they say, was jarring compared to the person they knew, but Green's recent social media activity seemed to offer clues that he'd changed.
