A police officer has been put on leave pending an investigation after shooting dead a Trump-supporting Air Force veteran as a riotous mob stormed the US Capitol Building in Washington DC yesterday.
Ashli Babbitt, 35, from San Diego, was shot in the chest when she tried to clamber through a barricaded entrance as police faced off with hundreds of MAGA supporters inside the legislature. She died several hours later.
Babbitt's husband told KUSI she was a 14-year veteran who served four tours with USAF in the Middle East as a 'high level security official,' and described her as a fervent Trump supporter who was 'a great patriot to all who

The door she was next to when shot goes into a hallway with what appear to be office doors. On another video (not at DM) one could see a number of persons moving around in the hall or sheltering in doorways. One of them was this shooter.
The door they were worried about was barricaded with a great amount of heavy wood furniture - oak? and other material.

Here is a direct link to the shooting part of the video. You can see the shooter’s hands and weapon on the left. Then he shoots multiple times.

This is incredible. The woman was no threat, and this guy was not even in her, or anyone else's view. And why the multiple shots? No warnings? This is incredible! The woman had half a dozen officers standing behind her! The only violence on Wednesday was against Trump supporters. I haven't heard any Democrats condemning that. The Democrats are trying to cover up their election steal, and demonize Trump, because they know what they have done, and they are terrified of Trump, and his supporters.

What ever happened to that brave FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi who killed an unarmed defenseless woman holding her baby. Probably living with a 200K per year government pension plus free health care. You wonder why we're angry????

was it really necessary for this woman to climb into the building through a smashed out window pane which was smashed open by an Antifa terrorist? if a person has no business being in that building then common sense dictates that this person shall stay out of the building. 500,000 other people didn't crash through any doors or windows to enter the building so why should she? common sense. who says she wasn't Antifa, to begin with and who says it wasn't Antifa that fired the round that hit this woman. common sense. the actions displayed yesterday were not of your typical MAGA supporter but very heavily involved Antifa. of course the "investigation" results, if any are brought to light will never be revealed to those of us who fund all of these federal agencies.

Rioter???? Scum news media is pure evil. Time for righteousness to rise! And no, calling for God’s intercession is NOT treasonous or anti-Democracy—it is a cry and prayer for help!

I was thinking the picture I saw of the hand and gun, you could see the sleeve of a suit and the shirt cuff which looked like it had been done in a laundry, not home ironed. Made me wonder if it was secret service or an LEO not in uniform. Just my quick observation.

Re #9, an eyewitness said she asked a man to boost her up so that she could put her cell phone through the upper part of the glass door pane that had been broken out. No way was she going to climb through that door window… A large fixed shard of glass sticking up halfway from the bottom would have eviscerated her. She was short; needed a boost. None of her was through that pane when he shot her several times. And he was close by. Less than five feet, I’d say, and at an angle where he could tell she wasn’t coming through the window. Had she been partially through the window when he shot her, she’d have fallen in such a way that she’d have been impaled on that big glass shard. She was on the outside of the door (to him) when he shot her and she fell straight back.

Leave is only temporary. Dead is forever. They'll just use ''on-leave'' until this blows over and CNN says, ''Look, there's a squirrel!''

Here is the shattered door pane they said she was trying to climb through. Except that she wasn’t. She was in the hall where a man had boosted her up and she fell straight back when shot.

This video shows it as cold-blooded murder at almost point-blank range.
** WARNING! GRAPHIC FOOTAGE! **

There was absolutely no justification for this except in this jackass's mind. What threat could she possibly pose to this man? I hope he sees her face every time he closes his eyes.

Can you imagine the reaction from the left if Ashli Babbitt had been a Black female BLM supporter who was shot by law enforcement like that? We would probably already be in the throes of another round of George Floyd style riots in the big Democrat run cities. It is sad what happened to her, but a person who was in the USAF Air Police for as long as she was should have known that it was unlawful for her and her cohorts to force their way into the US Capitol. There is no excuse for doing that, but that in itself does not excuse the police from shooting and killing her.

What is the murderer’s name?
Federal law just passed gives them 48 hours to release his name.

She was climbing through a window into a HALLWAY. The person was obviously a female, unarmed, and wearing a flag motif! Antifa scum BURN our flag, not wear it. Besides, that COWARD 'mall cop' who knelt down, drew his pistol, and shot her, was 30+ feet away, FAR from being a present danger! He could've stopped her by simply pushing her back out the window! Trigger happy 'mall cop' coward.
Watch as the Deep Swamp tries to elevate this coward to hero status, while they insult and denigrate the USAF veteran who died for the crime of loving her President.

This won’t be popular but
She shouldnt have gone in the building. None of them should have.
This officer shouldn’t have shot an unarmed woman. Clearly. He was there with House members, fearing the worst, and made the worst decision.
But Let me tell you, if I am in my house and people are smashing windows and forcing their way through my doors, I am shooting. Should he have kept a more level head? Perhaps. But then what if he was wrong and the people had weapons and shot him or the people he was protecting?
If this was purely antifa or blm, you would all be saying they had it coming.
This was a disaster. There were antifa people there but clearly there were people, like this woman, who were overhyped and out of control.
So now the entire 75 million of us must be ‘cleansed’ and the planned oppression is escalating rapidly.

This cop clearly murdered an unarmed woman. He must be named, prosecuted, and jailed for Murder 1.

Why hasn't he been arrested like ALL the officers who shoot an unarmed person....oh, wait...she was WHITE, so it's OK to shoot her.

During the last 7 months of rioting in demonrat run cities, the cops were told to stand down and were only allowed to use rubber bullets, even when they were being attacked with fireworks, Molotov cocktails, bricks, bottles of frozen water, human feces and on and on and on. Why was this shooter allowed to use live ammo? Whoever gave that order needs to be prosecuted along with the shooter.
It is being reported that he was a capitol policeman but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that he is FBI.

She couldn’t possibly have been trying to “clamber” through that glass door pane. There was a huge still-fixed shard of glass in the lower part of the shattered pane. She was boosted up by another protester and said to have stuck her cell phone through the opening. The video just below the photo of her in the Trump mask shows the shooting taking place. The shooters arms/hands come out from the left at very close range and one can see him fire at her repeatedly. She was not through the window; still on the hallway side, she fell straight backward. Lies, lies, lies. But this video tells the tale.
