SEATTLE — On Jan. 6, 2021, thousands of angry supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to prevent Congress from certifying the 2020 Electoral College results and Joe Biden's victory.
Rioters scaled the walls of the Capitol building and stormed the Senate chambers, forcing lawmakers to shelter in place and be rushed from the building.
A Trump supporter was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer as she tried to breach a barricaded doorway inside the Capitol, and three other Trump supporters suffered medical emergencies and died. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, injured while confronting the rioters, suffered a stroke the next day and died. Four other officers who responded to the Capitol died by suicide following the riot.
More than 700 people have since been charged with federal crimes stemming from the Jan. 6 attack, including at least 12 people with ties to Washington state.
Below is a look at the 12 people charged in relation to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol who have ties to Washington state. The information was gathered from Department of Justice (DOJ) records and previous KING 5 reports::

Joseph Elliot Zlab was arrested in Everett on May 13, 2021 for his alleged involvement in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
Zlab is charged for allegedly knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
On Jan. 16, an anonymous tipster contacted the FBI stating they knew Zlab was in Washington, D.C. on the day of the riot. The tipster identified Zlab from a photograph taken inside the Capitol building, according to documents.
An investigator found the website for Zlab's business based in Everett, which included a picture of him. An FBI agent phoned Zlab, who confirmed he was in Washington D.C. for Trump's speech and participated in the march to the U.S. Capitol. Zlab told the FBI agent he circled the Capitol building taking pictures, according to documents.
When he was asked if he entered the Capitol building on Jan. 6 while congress was certifying the election results, Zlab said he thought he "needed an attorney because he did not want to say anything incriminating," according to charging documents.
On April 8, the FBI obtained a search warrant for Zlab's Gmail account, which was linked to a phone number Zlab gave the FBI. Agents found pictures in a folder titled "January 6, 2021" of the inside of the U.S. Capitol. The FBI also found a picture stored on the account of the door to the House Appropriations Room.
Mark Leffingwell of Seattle was arrested in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 7, 2021. Leffingwell allegedly punched a Capitol police officer in the chest and on his helmet while police attempted to create a barrier to prevent rioters from entering the Capitol building, according to charging documents.
He entered a plea agreement on Oct. 26, 2021 and pleaded guilty to assaulting, resisting or impeding a federal officer, according to the plea agreement.
Sentencing is set for Feb. 10, 2022. Leffingwell could face a maximum of eight years in prison, a $250,000 fine and up to three years of supervised release, as well as interest or penalties on fines and restitution, according to the agreement.
Devlyn Thompson of Puyallup was arrested, charged and sentenced for his role in the Jan. 6 attack. The 28-year-old pleaded guilty in August to assaulting a police officer with a metal baton.
Prosecutors said Thompson joined a melee in a tunnel where a mob and police fought for control of a Capitol entrance for two hours. Thompson entered a tunnel that led to an entrance to the Capitol on the afternoon of Jan. 6. There he joined a crowd that stole shields from officers and was part of a group that threw a larger speaker at a line of officers.
Thompson was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison. In addition to prison time, a judge also ordered Thompson to pay $2,000 in restitution and serve three years of supervised release following his prison term.

Two people submitted tips to the FBI about Rhine being inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. One of the tipsters said he saw Rhine’s wife post on Facebook that he had entered the Capitol building.
