Rioters broke into the US Capitol by at least 8 separate points, more than previously known, NYT investigation finds

Rioters broke into the Capitol in at least eight different places during the January 6 riot, an investigation by The New York Times found.

The six-month investigation - which analyzed video, including police bodycam footage - found points of entry used by rioters that were not previously known about.

These included windows and doors that were scarcely guarded by police. This is what the Times said about those entrances:

  • Rioters smashed through two windows and a door in one place.

  • Beside it, a rioter with a crowbar smashed a second door and opened it "to hundreds of people."

  • Other rioters smashed a window next to the inauguration door and climbed inside.
