As President Joe Biden was inaugurated Wednesday, the Connecticut Capitol was largely quiet amid increased security following the breach of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month.
Officials said Wednesday there were no incidents, and as the inauguration was going on, few people outside the state Capitol building, except for a small contingent of law enforcement and National Guard troops and about a dozen opponents of former President Donald Trump.
State officials had drastically beefed up security at the state Capitol last week ahead of a warning of potential armed protests across the country, drawing in scores of state and federal authorities, as well as a contingent of National Guard soldiers.
