Some new video has emerged from inside the Capitol, as rioters are trying to crash their way into the House chamber, where lawmakers had taken refuge. You can see the gun of one officer, just before a woman was shot dead trying to enter the Speaker's Lobby just off the floor. Image
Here's the link to the longer video, which shows people trying to knock down the doors to get into the lobby area off the House floor. At about this same time, police with guns drawn were defending the center doors into the House Chamber as well.

This angle, and another from further back, shows Capitol Police walking away from the protecting doors, and going down the stairs to leave the area. That allowed rioters free rein to break the glass/doors. Second later, the woman was shot by the officer on the other side.
After the woman was shot, one of the heavily armed USCP officers, who was just on the stairs, turns and raises his weapon back into the Speaker's Lobby - where the plain clothes officer had just fired, and where others were protecting lawmakers Image
