As of Thursday night, 82 people have been arrested in connection with the violent mob that overran the Capitol. Rioters scaled the walls of the Capitol, destroyed property and broke windows as they made their way into the rotunda. Law enforcement are seeking information on the extremists. Five people have died, including one woman who was shot and a U.S. Capitol police officer. “We must also understand why the federal law enforcement response was much stronger at the protests over the summer than during yesterday’s attack on Congress,” Bowser said.
