Shots have been fired inside the Capitol. And PBS Newshour on their news feed reported a person had been shot inside the Capitol, but it is uncertain whether that person was a protestor, police officer, or someone else.

We are the Party of law and order. This is NOT a peaceful protest. What is happening in Washington, D.C. is utterly unacceptable. I condemn any and all violence toward on our government officials and law enforcement and encourage others to do the same.
