WASHINGTON â President Donald Trump called in the National Guard after violent protests broke out inside and outside the US Capitol on Wednesday.
One person was shot as protesters breached the heavily-secured building and forced the evacuation of the Senate and House of Representatives, forcing a delay in the constitutional process to affirm Joe Bidenâs victory in the November election.
A protester got up on the dais inside the Senate chamber and yelled âTrump won that election,â while several dozen are roaming through the halls, yelling, âWhere are they?â
