Capitol Police say Ashli Babbitt shooting might have 'saved' members of Congress

The shooting of Ashli Babbitt during the Capitol riot was “lawful,” and the Capitol Police officer involved will not face any internal disciplinary actions, the Capitol Police announced Monday, arguing his actions might have “saved” members of Congress “from serious injury and possible death.”

A video shows the 35-year-old Air Force veteran and Trump supporter attempting to climb through a broken doorway window into the Speaker’s Lobby during the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, when she was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer who has not yet been publicly identified.
