At one that afternoon, Jones went to the House floor for the vote to certify the results. Shortly after, we received a cryptic update via the Capitol’s emergency-alert system ordering us to shelter in place due to “police activity.” We feared this was connected to reports that Capitol Police had discovered a “suspicious package” in the area, and we worried that we might be in the blast radius of an explosive. Still, we continued working while we followed a live feed of the House proceedings.
