Updated Jan 07, 2021 Lawmakers returned to the Capitol hours after pro-Trump mobs had stormed the building. WASHINGTON ― Hours after rioters violently stormed the Capitol and put the building into lockdown, lawmakers returned to the House chamber and certified Democrat Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. in the early hours of Thursday morning as the winner of the Electoral College and the next president of the United States.

One woman was fatally shot outside the House chamber.
