A group of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building in Washington, DC, on Wednesday while Congress was in session, forcing security to evacuate lawmakers from the building and prompting an armed stand-off at the door of the House chamber.
A small group of security could be seen with guns drawn at the front of the House door, which appears barricaded with a large piece of wooden furniture, according to a photo shared by Huffington Post congressional reporter Matt Fuller. He added that the security was attempting to “talk down” the people on the other side of the House door.

A group of Trump supporters also entered the Senate chamber, which appeared to be otherwise empty.
