One person was shot by police. As for the other three:

"One adult female and two adult males appear to have suffered from separate medical emergencies, which resulted in their deaths," Contee said. "Any loss of life in the District is tragic and our thoughts are with anyone impacted by their loss."

At least one one those medical emergencies was simply a heart attack. And possibly another from an accidental fall from scaffolding, though the article says police were unclear. Doesn't sound like violence had anything to do with them, at least directly. If it did, I'd expect that to be made clear.

Trump was actually hoping the entire gravy seal battalion would suffer coronaries on the walk to the capitol building, it's the only way he gets out of this without the mob turning on him.

Think about it, Trump invites these gas bags to the white house, and then gets em all riled up about something or other, then tells them to march to the capitol? That's 9 miles away! A march of that length is practically a death sentence for a lot of these patriots! Trump is playing 4d chess as always.

Sure, some of them may have rascals or walkers to lean on, but that march might as well be 40 years in the desert. Stumbling, out of breath, leaving a trail of high capacity ar-15 mags emblazoned with the cross, and dragging a confederate flag through the mud like a starving sauropod's tail, just after the meteor.

Trump new exactly what he was doing. Exercise for Americans!? He's bold,you got to give him that.

Just want to correct you. The march from the White House to Capitol Hill is only about 2 miles. Still probably was too far for some of the insurrectionists...
A lot of people are saying that Trump gallantly led the march in a few unnecessary loops before they arrived at the capitol.

Yeah he had the presidential limo pacing ahead of crowd while he dangled one luscious, bizarrely hairless orange leg out an open door to keep up their spirits.
