We reiterate President Trump’s call against violence and to remain peaceful.
Protesters stormed the Capitol building Wednesday afternoon as legislators were discussing the certification of the election results. Legislators have since evacuated the Congressional chamber for safety.
President Trump called for law and order over Twitter as protests raged in the nation's capital.
I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

One woman has apparently been shot in the neck or possibly in the chest during the resulting confusion, shortly before 3:30pm. Their condition or the circumstances of the shooting are still not known at this time.

"During the hours of the curfew, no person, other than persons designated by the Mayor, shall walk, bike, run, loiter, stand, or motor by car or other mode of transport upon any street, alley, park, or other public place within the District."
