On Jan. 6, 2021, thousands of angry supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to prevent Congress from certifying the 2020 Electoral College results and Joe Biden's victory.
Rioters scaled the walls of the Capitol building and stormed the Senate chambers, forcing lawmakers to shelter in place and be rushed from the building.
A Trump supporter was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer as she tried to breach a barricaded doorway inside the Capitol, and three other Trump supporters suffered medical emergencies and died. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, injured while confronting the rioters, suffered a stroke the next day and died. Four other officers who responded to the Capitol died by suicide following the riot.
Here's a timeline of the events.
