Unidentified Capitol Police Officer suspended.
“Babbitt was reportedly climbing through a broken window near the Speaker’s Lobby at the Capitol building when a gunshot was fired and she fell to the ground.
Representative Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma said he witnessed the USCP officer shoot Babbitt as angry Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building.
“They were trying to come through the front door, which is where I was at in the chamber, and in the back they were trying to come through the speaker’s lobby, and that’s problematic when you’re trying to defend two fronts,” Mullin told host George Stephanopoulos in a Thursday interview on ABC News’ Good Morning America.
“When they broke the glass in the back, the [police] lieutenant that was there, him and I already had multiple conversations prior to this, and he didn’t have a choice at the time,” Mullin added. “The mob was going to come through the door, there was a lot of members and staff that were in danger at the time.”
Robert Contee, the chief of the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, said in a statement that Babbitt was pronounced deceased after “all life-saving efforts failed.”
What kind of danger? the area is a gun free zone, is it not?
There's police everywhere.
Whatta buncha snowflakes.
And why, oh why, would members of the government feel like they were in danger from a large group of citizens?
In other words, they let them in.
I hope the A$$hole cop feels real good and proud that he killed an unarmed woman.
I’m not hopeful he’ll be prosecuted.
