WASHINGTON – Congress is set to resume confirming the Electoral College vote for Joe Biden on Wednesday night after supporters of President Trump rioted at the U.S. Capitol, storming into buildings and vandalizing property.
At least one person was shot and killed, though it’s not clear who pulled the trigger during the chaotic scene. Some in the crowd were shouting “traitors” as officers tried to keep them back.
