Following the pro-Trump rally in Washington D.C. Wednesday, the U.S. Capitol building was stormed, leaving four people dead, The Associated Press has confirmed.

D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee said Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was shot by the U.S. Capitol police, as well as three others – two men and one woman – who died in “medical emergencies.”

Babbitt was part of a crowd that was breaking down the doors to a barricaded room where armed officers stood on the other side, police said. She was shot in the chest by police and was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.

52 people were arrested and 14 police officers were injured during the demonstrations, according to Contee.

The FBI started an investigation, asking for the public’s help in identifying unlawful individuals. The agency’s Washington field office launched an online form for “information related to violent activity at the U.S Capitol Building.”

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced a 15-day extension of the public emergency she called for earlier in the day to “ensure peace and security through the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.”

She added, “Today may be a dark day for our democracy, but there is hope and change coming.”

Sara Carter joined Sean Hannity from the picket line after President Joe Biden’s “brief” few minutes of support with the United Auto Workers strike in Michigan. Biden spent a “whopping 12 minutes with those UAW workers outside the plant today” said Carter.

“And I can tell you the time I spent with hundreds of workers walking up and down that line it was stunning to see how they had turned on the administration none of them actually bought the visit they thought it was more political than it was supportive” she added about her discussions with workers on the ground.

“It’s all about votes, trying to get votes” said one worker. “It’s a show” said another. Individuals also lamented “they didn’t forget about us During the pandemic. We were building cars and trucks, we were working” only to be left behind now.

Carter said it was evident that immediately after the brief show of “support” Biden immediately left, and got straight on his plane to head to Silicon Valley for a fundraiser.
