"Emergency exit only," the sign reads, instructing evacuees to "push
until alarm sounds" and the "doors will unlock in 10 seconds." After
one person exits, the doors appear to open from inside as 309
individuals pass through it over a period of less than 20 minutes
from the outside.
Capitol Police officers, who didn't have riot gear or helmets,
eventually made their way to the unlocked Upper West Terrace doors
but did not block the entrance and more rioters continued to flow
into the building, according to the footage reviewed by Just the News
and released for publication by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the
GOP-led House Administration Committee.
Video footage of other locations of the Capitol that day show
officers attempting to physically block entrances to stop rioters
from coming into the building, with rioters at some times striking
the officers or spraying them with pepper spray.
The Capitol Police press office did not respond to requests from Just
the News seeking comment. Its official after-action report barely
mentions the episode, simply noting that at 2:34 p.m. the "Upper West
Terrace is breached."
Breached from the inside.
