By Nick Pearson 9:33am Jan 9, 2021

A woman trampled to death during the riot at the US Capitol had been carrying a flag reading: "Don't tread on me".

Rosanne Boyland, 34, was killed in the crush when a few rioters started pushing people, her friend Justin Winchell said.

"They basically created a panic, and the police, in turn, push back on them, so people started falling," Mr Winchell said.
