On Wednesday, Jan. 6, Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman led the mob on a chase in an effort to divert it away from the unguarded Senate chambers, where Senators, staff and reporters took shelter.

Goodman waited for Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden upon their arrival at the East Front of the Capitol.
