At 12.59 p.m., a man on the northwest sidewalk collapses.
A call comes over the police radio frequency:
“Can you please have someone respond to my location? The bottom of the west front with an individual that's down here unconscious and not briefed.”
The man's name is Benjamin Phillips. He is a computer programmer from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, who traveled to DC to support President Trump.
A crowd of people, including police officers, form around him to assist with life-saving measures.
While Benjamin Phillips fights for his life outside, inside the Capitol, Vice President Mike Pence is entering the House chamber to convene the joint session to certify the electoral votes.
A few hundred feet away, back on the Northwest sidewalk, Benjamin Phillips has been loaded onto a makeshift stretcher and is being carried north to a waiting ambulance.
