Colorado Well Represented Among 700 Arrested During Capitol Attack

(CBS4)- Some Coloradans gathered at the state Capitol for a candlelight vigil on Thursday to commemorate the events that occurred one year ago at the U.S. Capitol. Many of the Jan. 6 rioters facing jail time have admitted they weren't peaceful protesters and that they were wrong to participate in the U.S. Capitol attack.

Colorado is well represented among those arrested. Of the more than 700 who have been taken into custody at least a dozen are from Colorado.
