What happened on Thursday January 07, 2021?

Here's what happened on January 07, 2021:

• Pro-Trump Mob Storms U.S. Capitol On January 7, 2021, a violent mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C., in an unprecedented attempt to disrupt the certification of President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. The insurrection represented a shocking breach of democratic processes, with rioters violently breaking into the Capitol, smashing windows, and forcing lawmakers to evacuate. Tragically, the chaos resulted in multiple deaths: one woman was fatally shot during the incident, and three others died from medical emergencies. Vice President Mike Pence was quickly moved to a secure location during the attack. Despite the violent interruption, Congress ultimately reconvened and certified Biden's electoral victory, and President Trump eventually committed to a peaceful transfer of power.
