美国国会大厦冲突 至少四人死亡
美国国会大厦出现示威活动，示威者与警方爆发激烈冲突，导致四人死亡，至少52人被捕。
根据美媒报道，1月6日下午，示威者强行闯入国会大厦，试图推翻大选结果，震惊全球。
百名自称是前总统特朗普的支持者冲击国会外围，突破大门与安保，硬闯国会建筑，并一度抵达参议院楼层，以及众议院议长南茜·佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi）的办公室。
副总统彭斯等人则由地下隧道紧急撤离，当地也派出陆空警卫队，以及国民警卫到场驱散示威者。
期间有四人相信是在冲突中死亡，包括一名被警员射杀的女示威者，而据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报道，另三人则死于急救无效。但他仍未说明死者是否为闯入国会大厦的示威者。
冲突中有52人被捕，14名警员因此受伤。
当局也在民主党全国委员会和共和党全国委员会分别发现一个土制铁管炸弹，并在国会大厦范围内起获长枪、燃烧弹等武器。
据《BBC中文网》报道，当日为正式确认民主党拜登赢得2020年总统大选。在示威者闯入国会后，会议被迫暂停，国会也紧急进入封锁状态，禁止人员出入，主持大会的副总统与一干人等也被迫撤离。
不过据彭斯的发言人称，副总统期间并未离开国会大楼。当时，持枪警察则驻守门内，处在门外的示威者则不停用力撞门，现场气氛紧张。警方也启动催泪弹驱散示威人群，华盛顿特区市长在当晚宣布宵禁。
