Five people died as a result of the riot, including a Capitol Police officer. No one has been charged yet in connection with any of those deaths. Several criminal statutes and theories of liability could be used against the rioters, legal experts said. reut.rs/3nCmdD4
Some of the defendants have been charged with gun-related offenses. There are federal laws against carrying a gun in the Capitol building, and possessing an unregistered firearm or unlicensed ammunition in the District of Columbia. reut.rs/3nCmdD4
