Siege At The U.S. Capitol
"Washington, D.C., officials say four people have died, including one in a shooting inside the U.S. Capitol, and more than a dozen police officers were injured after a mob of supporters of President Trump stormed the nation's legislative building, temporarily shutting down a vote to certify his successor's win.
"Thousands of individuals involved in violent riotous actions" stormed the building that houses Congress, the Capitol Police said late Thursday morning, in its first statement about the events. The extremists attacked police "with metal pipes, discharged chemical irritants, and took up other weapons against our officers."
Officials say one woman was shot by a Capitol Police officer amid the chaos near the House chamber where lawmakers were sheltering in place, and that she later died from the injury. The agency identified the woman as Ashli Babbitt.
Three others died after separate medical emergencies, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said during a news conference.
City police officers arrested 70 people on charges related to unrest from Wednesday through 7 a.m. Thursday, Washington's Metropolitan Police Department said. Most of those arrests were for violating curfew, with many also facing charges of unlawful entry."
