Capitol Hill Stormed By Rioters! Police Let Them In (PSYOP)
21Police secure U.S. Capitol after pro-Trump rioters cause bedlam at heart of U.S. government
Officials say 4 dead; 1 woman shot by police, 3 in medical emergencies
Heavily armed police secured the U.S. Capitol nearly four hours after supporters of President Donald Trump pushed past barricades and forced themselves inside the complex on Wednesday, with at least four deaths reported.
Washington police Chief Robert Contee said the dead included a woman who was shot by the U.S. Capitol Police, and three others who died in "medical emergencies."
The woman was shot as the mob tried to break through a barricaded door in the Capitol where police were armed on the other side. She was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Trump had urged his supporters to come to Washington to protest Congress's formal approval of president-elect Joe Biden's win in the general election, pushing unfounded claims that the election was stolen.
Police said both law enforcement and Trump supporters deployed chemical irritants during the hourslong occupation of the Capitol building before it was cleared by law enforcement. Several police officers were injured.
