'Trump Supporters Storm Capitol, Halt Vote Count for Biden'
Supporters of American President Donald Trump attacked and occupied the Capitol Building in Washington D.C., Wednesday, stopping members of Congress from counting electoral votes. The event is the final step in confirming the winner of the presidential election held November 3. President-elect Joe Biden defeated Trump in the voting.
The violence on Capitol Hill forced Congress to suspend its meeting and move lawmakers and others to safety. Those lawmakers include Vice President Mike Pence, who presides over the count.
The mob pushed down metal barriers at the bottom of the steps to the Capitol Building entrances. The rioters pushed past police officers, even as they fired tear gas. Others broke windows and climbed up the sides of the building. The attackers marched through the famous Rotunda area and the Senate chamber. They carried signs and took pictures. At least one stood at the Senate podium, saying “Trump won that election.”
One woman was shot and reportedly died later at a nearby hospital.
