File photo A number of state and federal lawmakers representing the area have responded after attackers took siege of the U.S. Capitol during Congress’ certification of President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory. After rioters broke through law enforcement barriers, members of Congress were given gas masks and cleared from chambers by police early in the afternoon. Leadership was quickly removed by their security details and U.S. Secret Service special agents took Vice President Mike Pence from the building during the breach of the complex. CBS News reported as of 4:45 p.m. that police continued to deal with rioters in the Capitol complex. By evening, the building was cleared of rioters and police regained order.
