January 6 insurrection

Seventh-grade civics teacher Matt Kiernan was in the middle of class when he got an alert that the U.S. Capitol was under attack. "I just stopped and just turned on the news. Like, how am I going to teach literally about how a bill becomes a law when there’s a genuine riot happening in the capitol.”

Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman said the U.S. Capitol Police has been working in the aftermath of the attack to "pivot towards an intelligence-based protective agency."
