George Washington game off due to curfew after Capitol stormed

With the U.S. Capitol locked down and Washington D.C. under curfew, George Washington's game against UMass set for Wednesday night was postponed.

Lawmakers were trapped inside the Capitol as violent clashes broke out between supporters of President Donald Trump and police. Dozens of people breached security perimeters at the Capitol and lawmakers inside the House chamber were told to put on gas masks as tear gas was fired in the Rotunda.

The office of DC mayor Muriel Bowser issued a 6 pm ET curfew, saying that people were not allowed to drive, bike or even walk on any streets in the city.
