The reported facts say Cua and his parents attended the rally at the Washington Monument that day, then walked to the Capitol. After arriving there, Cua separated from his parents and entered the building with the type of bat police normally carry.
After reaching the doors to the Senate Gallery, he assaulted a Capitol Police officer trying to lock the doors by violently pushing him. The officer Cua attacked and the other officers on the scene ran away from the doors without locking them.
After running into the Senate Gallery, Cua jumped to the floor of the room, walked to the stage, and sat in the vice president’s chair with his feet up on the desk.
