DC Police placed the Capitol Building under lockdown after the situation in the nation’s capital spiraled out of control.
Congress members and staffs were ordered not to enter or exit any buildings in the Capitol Complex.
Those outside were told to take shelter.
The evacuation comes after Trump supporters and police clashed on the premises.
Here’s some of the footage:

Congress was evacuated so quickly that offices were left unsecured.
Photos emerged from inside Nancy Pelosi’s office:

I’ve also seen rumors circulating that there may be many ANTIFA members disguised as Trump supporters.
Here are some tweets that mention it:
ATTENTION PATRIOTS. If you are in DC or have friends there, please advise them..
a memo was sent down to Antifa members.. "dress like Trump supporters and infiltrate the mob." They said wear your hat on backwards so that they could identify each other" @StevieStacks84— Julia Brooks Gunnells 🌟 #GiveOfYourself (@craftelady) January 6, 2021
Who are these people? https://t.co/UJci599D2b

My hope is that all violent agitators are arrested and their names are revealed publicly.
Call it a hunch, but my guess is there are still ANTIFA thugs in the mix.

They're bringing in Antifa to infiltrate and cause problems for the peaceful Trump supporters.

Trish have you considered they are not Trump supporters! Have you looked at how they are dressed? Have you looked at social media where antifa said they were going to infiltrate this March? https://t.co/GrP2q0tDTz
