I got caught up in the surge toward the Capitol Building and had my phone knocked out of my hands but OK. Things a bit tense here. Saw people led by Proud Boys storm the barriers outside Capitol Building. Cops started spraying tear gas and such.

Capitol Police were trying to push crowd back after they started getting more violent. Lots of people around me shouting, “this is it! take back our House!” and things like that. Captured some images:pic.twitter.com/IYL9TJMWcN
