TL;DR Summary

Lawmakers were evacuated from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters after protesters clashed with police outside the building. Capitol Police responded to about 150 people who were "illegally and violently protesting" near the building. Videos suggest the protesters were calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war. Six officers were treated for injuries, and one person was arrested. The Capitol was placed on lockdown, but restrictions were lifted later. House Republicans also commented on the incident, expressing concern for the safety of Capitol Police officers.
