Crowds of Trump supporters knocked down the barrier outside the Capitol and swept in while parliament was meeting to testify of Biden's victory, a woman shot dead.

Protesters face off with police, shouting, and waving Trump and US flags as they burst into the halls of the Capitol on Jan. 6.

A man in jeans and a cap stands with his feet resting on the table of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as some people climb into the area set up for Biden's inauguration on January 20, holding a banner:

"This event will be kept in history," Sonya Fitzgerald, a 43-year-old Trump supporter from Florida, said on the Capitol steps.

Chaos interrupted the meeting of the parliamentary election results certification.

The Pentagon said about 1,100 members of the District of Columbia National Guard were mobilized to assist law enforcement at the Capitol.

President-elect Biden called this a "rebellion" and demanded that Trump immediately go to national television to urge his supporters to stop besieging the Capitol.

"The chaos at the Capitol did not reflect a real America," he added.

During the rally outside the White House a few hours ago, President Trump highlighted the "stolen" protest, declared "never lose" and urged supporters to march to the Capitol.

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered a curfew across the city from 6pm on January 6 (6am, 7/1 Hanoi time) to 6am the next morning.
