A crowd of supporters of President Donald Trump invaded the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021. They tried to sabotage President-elect Joe Biden's win in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the joint session of Congress that was convened to tally electoral votes. While rioters assaulted law enforcement officials, destroyed property, and stormed the facility for many hours, the Capitol Complex was closed down and politicians and employees were evacuated. One person was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a heroin overdose, and three died of natural causes immediately before, during, or after the event. A large number of individuals were hurt, including 138 police officers. Within seven months, four cops who reacted to the incident killed themselves. The reactions have gone berserk, but time will tell what happens next.
