Original Note:
"Deadliest attack on our Capitol since 1812" is false. In the 1/6 attack, one protestor was killed by a Capitol officer. In 1890, Rep. William Taulbee was shot and killed by a journalist in the Capitol: https://history.house.gov/Historical-Highlights/1851-1900/The-death-of-Congressman-William-Taulbee-on-the-steps-of-the-U-S--Capitol/ In 1998, a man stormed the Capitol and shot two police officers: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/shooting/stories/weston042399.htm
