Donald Trump had promised his supporters that Wednesday would be "crazy".
She was.
On January 6, a handful of minutes after the outgoing President's speech in front of the White House, his supporters marched to the Capitol, where parliamentarians gathered to certify Joe Biden's presidential victory.
"Trump won", "traitors" chanted the protesters before the crowd grew more aggressive and tried to overrun safety.
As the police roadblocks begin to give way, demonstrators rush up the main staircase of the building while others reach the balconies by climbing the facades.
Breaking windows and forcing doors, supporters of Donald Trump invaded the building, wandering through offices, including Nancy Pelosi's.
The parliamentarians have already been evacuated, gas masks on their faces, by the Capitol police.
Overwhelmed, the security forces had to let the demonstrators enter the House of Representatives.
Chaos seizes this high place of legislative power and a tragedy occurs.
A woman who tried to force open a guarded door was fatally shot by police.
