Steven Sund announced his resignation as police chief on Thursday, following the violent riot on Wednesday that left five people dead, including a Capitol police officer.</p>
<p>The department’s lacklustre response to the riot, poor planning and failure to anticipate the seriousness of the threat have drawn condemnation from politicians.</p>
<p>In addition to Mr Sund, the Sergeants at Arms of both the House and Senate also resigned.</p>
<p>The FBI is also investigating whether some of the rioters had plans to kidnap members of Congress and hold them hostage.</p>
