Given that they killed one police officer, and injured dozens more, I think it is safe to say that they had the means to kill people if they came to a position to do so.

Anybody has means to kill people. You can kill people with bare hands. What they didn't have is intent to kill any people.

Which is why Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone, who was pinned to the ground by the crowd, had to beg for his life to the crowd where members were shouting, "Kill him with his own gun". Seems pretty clear intent to me.
