Attack on the US Capitol
On January 6th 2021 an attack at the U.S. Capital against the U.S. Congress occurred. Congress held a meeting to verify the 2020 election results and name Joe Biden president of the United States. When around 2,000 of Donald Trump’s supporters stormed and attacked the Capital to try and get the election results changed hoping to make Donald Trump the president. Congress members had to “hide under desks, stripped their identification pins from their lapels to avoid being attacked and escaped into secret passageways”. By the end of the attack five people lost their lives, one being a capital officer.
