A mob’s rampage at the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday was a rare and deadly assault by American citizens on the halls of Congress, leaving two killed, three others dead and widespread damage. The toll could have been much worse.⠀
⠀
In the hour after they breached the building, the rioters—some carrying nooses, bats, pipes, and zip ties—were feet or seconds away from the lawmakers they sought to confront, hoping to stop them from ratifying the election of Democrat Joe Biden and keep President Trump in power. Congressional staff members and some lawmakers hid under tables in offices barricaded with furniture as rioters tried to break in.⠀
⠀
Rep. Jim Himes hunkered in the visitors’ gallery overlooking the House chamber. He watched colleagues below rush to exit the floor, heard the reverberation of a single shot from somewhere close and waited his turn to evacuate.⠀
⠀
A trio of Capitol Police officers with guns drawn then led the Connecticut Democrat and about two dozen colleagues—the last lawmakers in the chamber—across the long gallery, maneuvering through narrow rows of seats and over brass handrails. The officers were shouting and agitated, he said, because they didn’t know which of the doors leading to the hallway to pick.⠀
⠀
“They had no idea which door didn’t have a mob behind it,” he said.⠀
⠀
Rep. Jim McGovern, one of the last lawmakers to evacuate the House floor, stepped into a narrow hallway to find a pile of overturned furniture reinforcing doors from the inside and several police officers in the lobby with their guns drawn. ⠀
⠀
“I looked at these people pounding on the glass with their bare fists, cracking it, even with their bare hands,” said the Massachusetts Democrat. “I just saw such hate in their eyes as I’m looking at them and they’re looking at me.”⠀
