The attack on the US Capitol: news coverage from KYW Newsradio

On January 6, as Congress met on Capitol Hill to formalize President-elect Joe Biden's election win, a crowd of Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol, overwhelming police and pushing past barriers to breach the building itself. As the mob made its way through the Capitol building, members of Congress were told to hide in the building with gas masks at the ready or whisked away to safety elsewhere. In the chaos, one of the people who stormed the building was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer.
