PARKERSBURG Wood County officials talked about the impact the storming of the U.S. Capitol by protesters this week has had on people.
During its Thursday meeting, the Wood County Commission talked about what happened Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., when a large group of people, many with pro-Trump attire on as well as carrying signs and flags in support of the President, stormed the building, smashed windows, gained access to a number of offices and the floor of the U.S. Senate as well as causing other damage in an attempt to disrupt the joint session of the United States House of Representatives and Senate from counting and certifying the electoral votes which would name Democrat Joe Biden as the next President of the United States.
