Ejected from the National Assembly grounds. This was quite a ways away from the front of the legislative building which was jam-packed with people. #ParoEcuador @teleSURenglishpic.twitter.com/glUkyu3i7g

3:05pm Indigenous potesters made it to the National Assembly, not sure how far inside the building (can only 100% say that they penetrated the grounds) before a helicopter began circling in close range & tear gas dispersed (also don’t know who/where it was launched from).pic.twitter.com/OyrToJTACK

Panic as people realize that police were beginning to encroach in many streets surrounding the National Assembly.

People run for air, turning corners to escape clouds of gas. After this a lot of people decided to book it completely and just get as far away from the area as possible, especially with the hovering helicopter and drone.
