Different Angle Shows Capitol Police Officer Shooting Ashli Babbitt
Published 3 years ago
A different angle of the moment an unarmed woman was shot and killed by Capitol Police during the "Stop The Steal" pro-Trump protest-turned riot was captured on video, and this recording shows the actual police officer discharging his weapon.
The woman has been identified as 14-year Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt of San Diego. Babbitt reportedly served four tours of service. In the video a mass of people can be seen trying to break into a locked wing of the Capitol building. As the glass was smashed out of one of the windows, Babbitt attempted to climb through it but was immediately shot by one of the officers.
According to a recent FBI bulletin, further protests are being planned at all state capitols starting Jan. 16 through Inauguration Day, and protests at the US Capitol starting on the 17th. State capitol buildings are preparing for the protests by boarding up windows and increasing security.
