Article: Protestors break windows, guns drawn by police...US Capitol trampled on by Trump supporters
Source: Yonhap News
On Wednesday afternoon, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S Capitol building and engaged with riot police as Congress held a joint session to count the 2020 Electoral College votes.
One person was shot while five others were taken to the hospital, according to NBC News.
Both chambers of Congress recessed debate over 2020 electoral votes after the mob forced a lockdown at the Capitol and the evacuation of lawmakers and VP Mike Pence.
US Officials now say the building is secure.
UPDATE: Twitter has now locked Trump's account. No tweets will be able to be posted from his account for the next 12 hours. His latest tweets have also been deleted for breaking Twitter rules.
This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.
