A man who became know as the “Pizzagate” gunman died earlier this week after he was fatally shot by North Carolina police who had pulled him over in a traffic stop, authorities reported Thursday.
The dead man, Edgar Maddison Welch, was charged years ago in 2016 after brandishing an assault weapon and revolver at a Washington D.C. pizza shop at the center of the notorious fake “Pizzazgate” conspiracy theory that the restaurant was the headquarters of a child sex-trafficking ring run by Democrats.
