"On Sunday evening, after 10 pm, an individual broke a window and entered the State Capitol Building. He proceeded in a fairly short period of time to damage several items in the building. He tipped over both iconic busts on the 3rd floor. All flags by the fire pots on the east side of the rotunda were thrown over and one was burned. He broke a glass door to enter the State Reception Room, where he also set fire to several objects, including the original rug, which is a priceless treasure."
"Footage from inside shows the suspect knocking over various items as he wanders the hallways. At one point, he started a fire in the state reception room, shattering a glass door to get in. He also toppled statues of George Washington and Martin Luther King Jr. All told, the damage spree lasted about 10 minutes, according to authorities."
Gunnar Schubert, 29, allegedly entered the Washington State Capitol through a broken window on Oct. 5 and caused thousands of dollars in damage across the building. He reportedly tipped over busts on the third floor, threw over flags by the rotunda fire pots and burned one, shattered a glass door to access the State Reception Room, and set fires that damaged a priceless original rug. Authorities arrested Schubert as he was leaving the building and booked him on first-degree burglary, first-degree arson, and first-degree malicious mischief. Officials indicated there did not appear to be a political motive and suggested a possible mental-health crisis.
