Capitol Police officer Aquilino Gonell compares the January 6 assault on the Capitol to a medieval siege in dramatic testimony to a Congressional select committee hearing on the event. "We fought hand to hand, inch by inch to prevent an invasion of the Capitol by a violent mob intent on subverting our democratic process," Gonell said. SOUNDBITE
"We know there is evidence of a coordinated planned attack. We know that the men and women who stormed the Capitol wanted to derail the peaceful transfer of power in this country," says senior Democrat and hearing chairman Bennie Thompson as he opens a congressional inquiry into the January 6 attack.

The vehicle that rammed into police officers near the US Capitol remains near the scene with its trunk open, while the National Guard and first responders arrive on site. One officer was killed and a second injured after the vehicle rammed through security and crashed into a barrier, forcing the US Capitol into lockdown less than three months after a mob assault on Congress.
