Vice President Pence and members of both houses of Congress, who had gathered to confirm the election of President-elect Joe Biden, were evacuated to safety as far-right protesters crossed the police line and entered the Capitol building, exhorted by President Trump’s rejection of the election results at a speech early on Wednesday.

Shots were fired, and D.C. officials confirmed that one woman died. State capitals around the country have also experienced protests, including the Capitol Building in Santa Fe.
