Chaos erupted in the nation’s capital Wednesday as supporters of President Donald Trump swarmed the Capitol building, prompting Vice President Mike Pence to be swept to a secure location and the Senate chamber to be evacuated.

A woman was shot and taken to a hospital, and the Pentagon said the Washington, D.C., National Guard has been mobilized to support local law enforcement. As of late afternoon, 13 people — all from outside the area — had been arrested.

As a 6 p.m. ET curfew approached, police in riot gear stood outside the Capitol and held protesters at bay after securing the premises a few hours after rioters broke in through smashed windows and climbed to the building’s balconies.
