Trump supporters, who were at the Capitol to protest President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory, forced their way into the Capitol, taking over the building which prompted everyone inside to seek immediate shelter.
The Metropolitan Police Department is currently offering a reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and indictment of the person or persons responsible for a crime committed in D.C.
