Three years after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Washington’s federal courthouse is flooded with trials, guilty plea hearings and sentencings stemming from the largest criminal investigation in American history. And the hunt for suspects is far from over. Authorities are working to identify more than 80 people wanted for acts of violence at the Capitol. They also want to identity the person who placed pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic national committees’ offices the day before the Capitol attack. They continue to regularly make new arrests, even as some Jan. 6 defendants are being released from prison after completing their sentences. About 750 defendants have been sentenced, most receiving time behind bars.

The recent shootings of three college students of Palestinian descent in Vermont’s largest city come as the small rural state is grappling with a spike in gun violence. Days after the students were seriously wounded during their Thanksgiving break, Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger said in a statement that he hoped it was the last of what has already been a violent year in Vermont. The state is often ranked as one of the nation's safest. Bu tsince October, it has had 10 homicides and one suspicious death, including a double homicide in Burlington. Authorities say many of the homicides this fall are likely drug-related and all are isolated from each other.
