Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is sending members of the Virginia National Guard along with 200 state troopers to respond to the unrest at the U.S. Capitol.
In a tweet on Wednesday afternoon, Northam said he and his team are working closely with Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer "to respond to the situation in Washington, D.C." ... "Per the Mayor's request, I am sending members of the Virginia National Guard along with 200 Virginia State Troopers," the tweet said.
The Virginia National Guard tweeted that Northam has approved "Guard support to law enforcement to Washington, D.C." ... "For operational security reasons," the tweet said, "we will not release details on the number of personnel, staging locations or timelines."
In Richmond, the Virginia Division of Capitol Police shut down Capitol Square "out of an abundance of caution," a spokesman said.
