      Why are they getting credit? It was capital police who finally opened fire when the rioters got to the hallway with the congressional offices.

        the Secret Service were the ones inside, who for example shot out into the hallway from the door of the senate when the MAGA traitors tried to storm the senate chambers

          Unless you’ve got a source I’m not familiar with, the only time anyone opened fire on the protestors was in the hall where Ashley Babbitt died, and that was confirmed to be Capital Police.
