‘This is how I’m going to die’: officers recount Capitol attack ordeal – live

  • Police officer Aquilino Gonell describes violence at Capitol
  • Select committee hears witness testimony from 6 January

Now we have Stephanie Murphy, a Florida Democrat, and more video, this time from Officer Hodges’ body camera.

There are clouds of smoke, police in riot gear, shouting, pushing. Hodges curls his lip as he looks up at the screen. One burly police officer is seen dousing his eyes with water, walking back through the police line. Now we have Officer Hodges stuck in a door, screaming. It is tough to watch.

Now it’s the turn of Pete Aguilar, a Democrat from California. He focuses on Officer Hodges and Sgt Gonell, asking Hodges about discoveries of guns and explosives, about the gear rioters were wearing, and about how he and his fellow officers felt as they were fighting.

I was wondering how many bombs are there,” Hodges says. “What’s the trigger? Is it a cellphone?”
