The protest lead to an armed standoff with police and at least one person shot.
Congress’ efforts to certify the results of November’s presidential election devolved into utter chaos on Wednesday, with supporters of President Trump overrunning police and storming the US Capitol building, explosive devices found.
As around 1:30 p.m., 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.
At least one woman was shot fatally in the chest inside the building, according to reports and gruesome social media images of the shooting.
Several other protesters made it onto the floor of the Senate, with at least two caught in photos atop in the dais, occupying the seat usually held by Pence, the president of the Senate.
"Trump won that election!" one of those protesters could be heard saying, according to a reporter’s tweet.
