across the country, and many on Long Island couldn't believe
what happened in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
News 12 heard first-hand accounts from people who
were there.
Long Island Congressman Tom Suozzi was inside the
chamber at the time.
"Someone went to the speaker's chair and
announced that uh there were gas masks under our seats and open them up and be
prepared to use them, because tear gas had been used in the Statuary Hall of
the Rotunda, uh be prepared to shelter under you chair, or anything you could,
if it was necessary," said Suozzi.
