One woman was shot and killed by police, and three others died from medical emergencies as a mob of people stormed the Capitol, breaking windows, taking over offices and even the Senate dais as lawmakers were evacuated to safety. Police recovered two pipe bombs, one outside the Democratic National Committee and one outside the Republican National Committee. A vehicle on the Capitol grounds was found with a long gun and Molotov cocktail in it.
About a dozen arrests were made in the hours after authorities regained control.
