Congress’ efforts to certify the results of November’s presidential election devolved into utter chaos Wednesday, with supporters of President Trump overrunning police and storming the US Capitol building, explosive devices found and at least one woman shot.
All hell broke loose around 1:30 p.m., as protesters who had already breached the Capitol grounds pushed past police and into the building where hundreds of lawmakers — including Vice President Mike Pence — were assembled.
Outnumbered police barricaded the door from inside the chamber of the House of Representatives, training their service weapons on the entrance as protesters massed outside.
