Richard Barnett, who was pictured with his feet up in the House speaker's U.S. Capitol office, and a West Virginia lawmaker are two of more than a dozen people facing charges related to the riot.

Alex Vitale, author of The End of Policing, says it's a mistake to boil Wednesday's events down to questions of police force. He argues we need a broader conversation about race, politics and justice.

The FBI is asking the public to help identify people involved in the attack. D.C. Metro police is offering a reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who provides information leading to an arrest.

Congressional leaders called it a "rare honor" for the Arizona Senator, who died Saturday. Fewer than three dozen people have received this honor, reserved for the nation's "most eminent citizens."

Officers observed an "erratic and aggressive" driver near the Capitol and tried to carry out a traffic stop. Then, police said, the driver nearly hit officers. Shots were fired; no one was injured.

The Capitol was briefly placed on lockdown amid reports that shots had been fired at the Visitor Center. The head of the Capitol Police says the suspect was already known to the police.
