Lancaster County man on FBI most wanted list in Capitol attack, footage shows lancasteronline.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from lancasteronline.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
A man who is wanted by the FBI and is shown on video pepper-spraying police and encouraging violence near the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 is a staunch Trump supporter from Ephrata, video and still footage shows.
LNP|LancasterOnline was able to identify the man by carefully comparing his social media posts to widely disseminated video and photos of the violent events that day, which followed a speech by then-President Donald Trump to thousands of his supporters in which he urged them to stop Congress from certifying Joe Bidenâs victory in the November election.Â
Numerous videos and photographs now inaccessible on the man s Facebook page which an LNP|LancasterOnline reporter and editor relied on to report a Jan. 10 story about Lancaster County residents who went to Washington, D.C. show the man is Samuel Lazar, 35, a self-described entrepreneur.Â
A public emergency declaration issued Wednesday was suspended for 15 days.
A small group of President Trump s supporters gathered outside the Capitol around 9 a.m., hours before Congress was set to confirm that Joe Biden won the U.S. Presidential election.
That was interrupted by throngs of people marching, chanting and knocking down barriers.
Four people died as a result of the rampage, including one woman shot by Capitol police and three who suffered medical emergencies.
