Gun-toting protesters against Michigan's coronavirus lockdown have rallied in the state capitol building.
Hundreds of demonstrators, a few of them armed, gathered in Lansing, and many did not wear masks or social distance.
Police checked their temperatures before some were allowed into the capitol, where lawmakers were debating. No one was injured in the incident.
Notably, Michigan has been hard hit by the coronavirus, with 3,788 deaths.
More than 41,000 infections have been recorded across the Midwestern state, mostly in the Detroit metro area.
