Journalist present in the press gallery told how the violence started in Washington, Women who had worn heels saved their lives by crawling

Jamie Stiehm is an American political columnist. Jamie was right there at the time when Trump supporters were creating a furore at the Capitol Building in Washington DC. He told what he saw at that time from the press gallery inside?

Jamie Stiehm said that I had already told my sister that something bad was going to happen today. I don’t know what will happen, but something bad will happen.

Outside the Capitol a large group stood in support of President Donald Trump. All the flags were waving. I went in from there and sat in the press gallery. The speaker in front was Nancy Pelosi. She was silencing people.

The proceedings of Parliament were going on, but as soon as the Second hour was about to come, suddenly we heard the sound of glass breaking. The air began to fade somewhat. Then the police announced that some people were vandalizing the building. Everyone present there looked around, but did not see anything special.

But even then, the police continued to alert. He said, some people have entered the building. Not only this, some supporters are vandalizing under the dome. Some even tried to set fire.

The police could not figure out what was going on. They could not even coordinate among themselves. Security guards came in and locked the doors of the chamber. He said that Parliament has to be vacated immediately.

The people present there were stunned to hear the evacuation of Parliament. I was scared too. We felt that the Capitol Police had lost control of the building, anything could happen.

I called my family. To tell them that I am stuck in a dangerous situation here.

We could see that the peoples are firing Bullets. Five men stood with guns at the door. They were protecting us. It was a horrifying scene. Police were looking out of the broken glass window. It seemed that from the front they could shoot at any time. But thankfully, there was no fire inside the chamber.

We had to crawl under the railing to escape. However none of the women present there were ready for it. His clothes were also not like that. The women were wearing high-heeled shoes. In this case, he had a lot of trouble.

I, along with others, took refuge in the House Cafeteria. I am still afraid. I had seen a lot as a journalist, but it was something very different from before. But after all this, the Speaker went back to the Chamber. We also decided to go back to the chamber as well. Because sending a message that you could provoke a mob, but we are going to move forward.
