A woman who was shot inside of the Capitol building during the rioting of Donald Trump supporters Wednesday has died.
The woman, whose identity has not been released, has since died, police have confirmed.
The woman was pronounced dead at a local hospital, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Department told The New York Times. The spokesperson did not share any further details or say who shot her.
Earlier Wednesday, MPD Chief Robert J. Contee III said during a press conference, “I can confirm that one civilian was reported to have sustained a gunshot wound inside of the Capitol.
“Details of the shooting are not immediately available, and the situation remains under investigation.”
The MPD did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
The shooting happened as thousands of Trump supporters descended on the Capitol while lawmakers counted the certified electoral college ballots to ratify President-elect Joe Biden‘s win.
