Proud Boys breach Capitol windows, first entry into building

At approximately 2:13 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, Proud Boys member Dominic Pezzola uses a stolen police shield to break a window on the northwest side of the Capitol, allowing rioters to enter the building. This marks the first breach of the Capitol. The Proud Boys had gathered near the Washington Monument at 10:28 a.m. and marched to the Capitol, with leader Ethan Nordean telling members "Let's not f***ing yell that" when someone shouted "Let's take the f***ing Capitol!"
