US Capitol Breached by pro-Trump Mob

The entire National Guard has been deployed to the US Capitol after a woman was shot inside when President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the building and violently clashed with police in a bid to stop Joe Biden's victory being certified.

The chaotic scenes broke out after dozens of Trump supporters breached security perimeters at the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon.

Moment when protesters initially got into the building from the first floor and made their way outside Senate chamber.

Photos of Trump supporters are emerging from inside the Capitol building that are hard to believe. Before today, the idea that anyone could storm Congress like this, and occupy its offices and chambers, was simply unimaginable. Here is a selection of some of the best surreal scenes from today so far.

The power-hungry have always been the most dangerous thing for peace. The worst part is that we as foreigners end up thinking that part of the Americans have gone nuts. And frankly that doesn't make us want to go to the United States! And it's sad for many good Americans who don't deserve this.

Trump has failed again - in an attempt to have a coup and become a dictator. His only defense now is insanity.
Many Americans are heartbroken by this attack.
But, we must remember that "democracy in messy".
