The Capitol is mostly empty this morning but many remnants of yesterday remain.

Four bullet holes in the glass of the doors that lead to the House Capitol steps

And this is where the woman was shot. These are the doors to get into the “Speaker’s Lobby” off the House chamber. Three pains of glass missing. One is shattered. Shards of glass remain on the floor

And this is the entrance to Speaker Pelosi’s suit. Her wood and good placard is missing

These are the doors to the center steps. Where they first breached the Capitol.They are cast in iron from Italy and moved here in the 1860s or earlier. Double paned glass shattered

This is just outside those doors

And these are the markings surrounding those doors from inside the building

Important to note that these are the doors that Joe Biden would use to enter the Capitol to get to the West Front of the Capitol for inauguration. The same doors Trump walked through and presidents before him.

These destroyed iron benches are in the entry

An office in the hallway off that entrance with shards of glass on the ground, a destroyed plant, a boarded up window.

I posted this picture earlier of the doors to the House steps, but now that it’s light out you can see the bullet holes and the stickers they put on the doors, which say “Fuck Antifa”

I have to take a break from my tour to go do tv - @NBCNewsNow - but will continue when I can.

In the meantime here’s a beautiful shot of the Capitol as the sun rises

One more on these bullet ridden doors, the circular sticker is of Joe Biden and says “not my president.”

And the bullet holes are pierced from the outside. The inner pane of glass is unscathed.

These are doors on the Senate side. That thick film is what’s left of tear gas. It still makes you cough 18 hours later

This went around social media last night but the Senate Parliamentarian office is still in the same state this morning

BTW smoking is NOT allowed in the Capitol.

Looks like attempts to smash in doors. Directly across the hall from the Senate Parliamentarian’s office

Here’s one more for now.

Glad to get these shots, but why hasn't @CapitolPolice blocked any of this off?

Have they collected cigarettes, cups, scarves left behind as evidence? @frankthorp saw it being thrown away last night.

We have so many questions but @CapitolPolice aren't answering us.

UPDATE: We now have the first statement from @CapitolPolice
A first but inconclusive look at what happened yesterday
