The doors weren't open, the one woman who was shot was crawling through a breach and video footage clearly shows the protestors trying to crush their way through police and barriers. They only needed to control the capitol building long enough to force the vote they wanted and kill Mike Pence and a few congress critters they really hated. Have you even seen the footage? And they were lucky only one person was shot, if the capitol police were actually prepared to repel a riot (like that would have been for BLM), things would have gone very differently. Despite fair warning, the capitol police had orders not to use their most effective deterrants, like stun grenades, on the rioters.
“Heavier, less-lethal weapons,” including stun grenades, “were not used that day because of orders from leadership,” Mr. Bolton wrote. Officials on duty on Jan. 6 told him that such equipment could have helped the police to “push back the rioters.”
