Storm into
The attackers stormed the building, sparking several exchanges of fire with security guards. Two of the attackers appear to have detonated explosives just outside the building.
This is an extract from BBC news on rebel attacks on Chechen parliament. My question is, would it be "stormed into" instead of "stormed the building" if the attackers had entered the building? Thanks.
