Just 15 minutes later there were reports of a similar pipe bomb outside the Democratic National Committee office at 430 South Capitol Street SE.

The person in the surveillance photos is a person of interest in the case.

The FBI is also currently looking for any of the rioters seen on video or captured in photos at the U.S. Capitol during the insurrection.
