Pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building Wednesday afternoon following a live speech from the president at a “Save America” rally that opposed the results of the November presidential election.

During a press conference Wednesday night, Metro Police Chief Robert Contee said a Capitol police officer shot a woman as the mob tried to break through a barricaded door in the Capitol where police were armed on the other side.

Authorities are asking for anyone with information on this man or any of the other persons of interest to call police at 202-727-9099 or text the Metropolitan Police Department tip line at 50411.
