I was in the building where and when the woman was shot. I want to give some background of what led up to the event and some additional detail immediately after the shooting that I was only one of only a handful to witnesses and don't know if anyone else connected the dots. First off, when I arrived to the south end of the building, there was no security outside the door, nor inside the door that I could see. I checked the door along with everyone else who walked up to see that it was locked. The window was broken however from a room near the door. Side note people advised me that the window among others all around the capital had all been broken before any trump supporters had arrived. This is odd, but plays into the detail later.
I am talking with others a few feet away from the door, then somebody says, "Hey, its open." We all go in since there it is an open door with no security in sight. We enter a hallway to the left at the end of which is an elevator. At the end of the hallway, we turn right into another hallway that ends with a glass door. People then break the glass with a chair. The door is challenging, but the panel next to the door breaks easier. This is when and where the girl gets shot. After the glass has broken, a set of stairs that lead up into the hall where the girl was has about 4 armed police/security arrive. They walk up fully armed, but then retract back down the stairs. This feels as if they are conceding the door due to the immense pressure because of how many people we have. This assumption was wrong.
Right after they went back down the stairs, the girl climbs up to enter the part of the glass panel that had been fully broken, presumably to go in and open the door for everyone else. The moment she climbs up a police officer/security in the hall raises his pistol from a kneeled position and fires one round hitting her in the neck. She falls and there is soon a large amount of blood. The next part is the part that basically nobody knows about. A man walks out of the area where she was shot and announces calmly and clearly to everyone whom is still in the first hall that a girl had been shot, a girl had been killed. Then this man proceeds to back into an elevator and decisively press his button to leave.
This person is an agitator, that made an announcement to further agitate an already agitated crowd and then dipped out like he owned the place. Only two people would ever be getting on that elevator by themselves, someone who is looking to get arrested or someone who has some sort of connection or credentials to the inside. This was not a BLM or Antifa agitator, this was part of the government. Additionally, these are very secure doors, unlocked by a camera security guard. Outside, nobody was smashing or pushing the door we were just talking peacefully amongst each other. That door just unlocked or was unlocked for someone specifically (maybe the same person I witnessed, I don't know). Regardless, somebody intentionally let us in. A girl was shot who had no weapon, an announcement was made to create more chaos and then he simply just left.
i don't know who needs to know this who is in a position of power to do anything about it, so please share it with who needs to hear it. This is not a LARP, I watched a woman die.
Please also link the videos you have, so I can try to potentially identify the man I saw. There are several videos I watched immediately after including one that I don't think has been uploaded yet. One video in particular you can see the shooter take the actual shot. This video in particular needs to be shared if you have a copy of it, please please upload it.
TLDR I WITNESSED A GOVERNMENT AGITATOR INVOLVED DIRECTLY IN THE SITUATION WITH THE SHOOTING OF THE WOMAN
Sorry for not proofreading if it reads like I'm retarded, I did not proofread
Well, good clarification, thank you. I am sickened because it seems like she suffered in her final moments.
Who is the guy in the black suit, mask and wearing a badge in the video near the door and there during the shooting?
No it hasn't. Go try it again. It has the "Graphic Content" warning up front that you have to click on to get it to run. Also, this 1min-13sec video is NOT at all the same video that you posted (0:45). But taken together, they explain a number of things.
Also, think about that still-photo (posted many places) taken from inside the main chamber that likely was taken a few feet away from this just around the corner to the left, where 3 or 4 plainclothesmen pointed their handguns at one door. If this was that same door, they could easily have heard the angry voices just outside, along with the smashing of the windows flanking the door by that heavy wooden stand, and the loud pounding of palms/fists against glass & wood. (BTW, I hope to hell they can ID the person who wielded it and smashed out the windows). The shooter was standing in that doorway when he fired on a diagonal line from his door to the window Ashli was climbing through. The short distance from her (6 ft?) and the nearly-perpendicular angle to her meant that he couldn't miss her and that no one else was in the line of fire; just the wall to her right. Too tempting of an easy shot for him to pass up?
Looking at the longer video, there seems to be some very unfortunate timing that led to Ashli's death, in that none of the LEO's on her side of the door were looking in her direction (except for one whose vision was blocked because he's standing on a down-stair) at the moment she decided to climb through the window. And she moved VERY quickly too. This meant nobody on the inside of the door could see her and stop her, leaving only the shooter by himself on the other side to make a life or death decision. (IMHO it *appears* from the scant evidence available so far that he used lethal force unjustifiably, but I won't make that decision for myself one way or another until more facts come out. Did the fact that she & others had on backpacks which did not go through security checkpoints weigh in here?)
The vid starts with 4 armed and helmeted cops (long guns) climbing up stairs from below. Then you see the arms of the guy using the heavy stand trying to smash all the way thru the left window, likely the same way the right window was previously completely removed. Note that the shooter is maybe 2 feet behind and to the left of the window being hammered with growing cracks in it.
There appear to be maybe 3 other security officers already near the door, who are not helmeted, nor carrying weapons in their hands. As they talk to a guy against the wall on the right with a lanyard/badge who is apparently in some position of authority, the 4 armed ones arrive as the battering ram wielders (not coincidentally) quickly pull it back and away. Note that the 3 security guys already present are standing in front of the removed right window, so nobody can go through it while they're there. Also, the 4 newly-arrived LEO's stay standing on the top-most stairs, apparently because of the crowded conditions.
But then there are a few words passed between the lanyard guy and the newly-arrived 4 cops plus the 3 cops already with him, while loud banging is heard (palms striking glass and polished wood?) in addition to a loud incoherent babble of voices. Apparently the 4 newly-arrived LEOs with long guns & helmets are the "big gun reinforcements" there to replace the 3 lightly armed or unarmed security guys. And this Changing Of The Guard is now bungled by leaving the breach-point unguarded for 13 seconds (0:28-0:41, 2nd video).
You can see that the hallway is so packed full of people that there's no way the 3 original guards can stay where they are while the 4 new guards move up to take over their position. Instead, the 3 original guards hug the right wall in single file as they make their way out. The 4 new LEOs are still standing on the top few steps with their vision of the breached window blocked from view, and appear to be backing down the stairs to move from a 2-by-2 to a single-file in order to clear a path on the stairway for the 3 departing guys, while the foursome's leader on the top step confers with Lanyard Guy.
At around 28sec, the final member of the threesome leaves his post closest to the window, and a masked, hooded male takes his place. He looks through the window at a steep angle to the left, so he's likely looking right at the shooter who would be looking right at him. If he had been contemplating a jump thru the window, he isn't now, even though he's pretty small and could fit right through.
Also at 28sec, Lanyard Guy turns to look at the now unguarded window. He turns to look at least twice between :28 and :33, but then focuses his attention on the foursome's leader who's still on the top step. There is then more jostling around the windows and doors as protestors move in & out & sideways for a looksee.
That's the moment Ashli made her fatal decision, at time 0:41.
So for 13 seconds, from 0:28 to 0:41, there are no security people at the breached window while in the midst of their bungled hand-off to the new, more heavily-armed team.
And for 8 of those seconds, from 0:33 to 0:41, the only person in authority who is not on the stairs and therefore could possibly have a view of the window - Lanyard Guy - is facing away.
So not only are there no officers standing next to the empty window, but there are also none facing in its direction for those 8 seconds.
Two major mistakes at once.
I'm guessing the plainclothes guys on the inside of the House Chamber all pointing their guns at the door were the last line of defense, the shooter stationed outside the chamber door pointing his gun at the hallway door flanked by windows was the 2nd-to-the-last line, and the 3 security guys + Lanyard Man guarding the breached window on the inside of that same door were the 3rd-to-last.
So the shooter had been standing there for some time, while he depended on the 3rd-to-last line to keep anyone from coming thru the door or windows. He likely had no way to talk with them due to different services using different frequencies that would require special patch-throughs (eg Secret Service vs Capitol Police), plus the loud din preventing direct hearing of each other even a short distance away. So he probably was wondering WTF? when protestors started looking through the breached window that had been guarded up to then. As far as he knew, there had been a major security breakdown behind the hall door.
What a tragedy for Ashli and her loved ones.
How would I know if it’s the same video when I couldn’t view it on Youtube. Besides, I said that was the same as the twitter video he linked to elsewhere.
Certainly not my idea of how to peacefully protest......
A tragic event that should not have happened....
How should I know? What is clear is that she was no threat at the time she was shot.
Certainly not my idea of how to peacefully protest......
Who said anything about peacefully protesting? Did I claim she was doing that?
Don’t take it personal dude, I’m not questioning or challenging you, I’m merely making a personal observation based on the video I just watched.......
A tragic event that should not have happened....
I can certainly agree with that. I would not have put myself in the position she did nor would I have taken the shot the shooter did.
Of course none of these bad decisions would ever have been made if we had a real press instead of an activist propaganda press, real courts and prosecutors who put criminal politicians in jail instead of helping them into office through criminal election fraud ... I think you can see where I'm going with the chain of cause and effect here.
I don't think they used her death to justify their actions.
Rather, I think that yet once again, they had a kneejerk reaction to the MSM's 1000-point-font headlines all screaming "ANGRY VIOLENT ARMED TRUMP MOB ATTACKS CONGRESS! GUNFIRE HEARD! FOUR DEAD! 52 PRO-TRUMPERS ARRESTED!" ..... and yet again failed to wait for the Truth to catch up with the Spin before grabbing their twitter microphones. ("Alexa! Give me 3 Virtue Signals.")
Yes there was gunfire .... exactly one shot, and fired not by deranged Trump supporters who haunt the daymares of the MSM, but rather by someone who probably graduated at the bottom of his LEO training classes.
And yes, there were 4 deaths, but not at the hands of those same allegedly rabid Trump supporters. Rather, one was Ashli, and three died of "medical emergencies" - not surprising among a rally of 10s or 100s of thousands, a crowd made up of all ages including the geriatric demographic.
And yes there were 52 arrests of Trump supporters. But you might be interested in knowing the details:
Wow, the crimes of the mobs in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis, NYC, Detroit, Denver, St Louis and 100s of other cities during the 2020 Summer Of Love just simply PALE in comparison to the evil acts of the nefarious Trump supporters, doncha think?
Did you try the link again to the longer video? I reposted it in the first link I put in my long response above. I've gotten through to it numerous times tonight.
If you still can't click past the "this video is flagged as inappropriate/graphic/etc by some viewers ... click here to view it anyway" screen, let me know. Maybe I can do a screen capture of it and put it on dropbox for you.
Yes, I watched it now. Longer but the same video the other was cut from isn’t it? Guy in the suit seems to be keeping the police away from the woman as she lay bleeding to death. That I didn’t notice before.
Hmm.... I don't think we're talking about the same set of videos.
The first link I posted above of this 1min-13sec longer video is taken by someone standing down the hallway some distance from the doors, just past where the entrance to the stairs is. You can't even see the shooter in it. (This is the video I pulled most of my reconstructed time line from).
But the 2nd shorter video I link to is taken by someone much further forward and to the left, who is pressed right up against the cracked left window and has the best view of the shooter than anyone else seems to have.
What you mention about the guy in the suit tending to Ashli is in the 2nd shorter video (that I first heard about from you). It just dawned on me that since none of the authorities or LEO's to the inside of the door saw the shot but only heard it, they wouldn't know for sure if it wasn't some protestor on their side of the barrier who fired it. This could explain their high level of stress, their yelling at people to get back, pointing their guns at them, swearing at them, and so on.
Very helpful, thanks for posting.
It took me many hours to write, because each time I'd be searching for a time marker or the physical location of someone I was describing, or whatever else, I kept noticing new things I hadn't before. So I had to scrutinize those as well, and they would then lead to something new again. Exhausting!
Note that the shooter in the suit takes the shot even though armed uniformed LEOs with carbines are clearly swarming towards the door less than 10 feet from the shooter.
Thanks for posting the link...urge all to copy the video and post it far and wide.

Good analysis. Thanks.
One of the first things I noticed was that he shot with those LEOs in his line of fire. That and the way he moved back and forth and thrust the gun forward when he shot tell me he has no training. Not to mention firing with no imminent threat to himself or anyone else.
Copied it at 1080p @ 60fps for still caps....
Agree about lack of training, hero/buck fever with narrowed cone of focus.
There used to be people who did things like you did for a living.
They would collect reliable facts about an event like this and record and publish them for posterity.
They would then come up with new questions, get good new answers to those new questions, thereby collecting new reliable facts. They would then record and publish those new reliable facts for posterity.
A record of reliable facts would thus be developed over time that normal, honest people could typically rely on and that abnormal, dishonest people interested in covering up their misbehavior would become increasingly “uncomfortable with”—and for good reason: Because the truth puts them in an (appropriately) bad light.
There used to be a name for these fact-collecting, fact-recording, fact-publishing people. I can’t remember that name right now, but if I do remember it I’ll be sure to record and publish it for posterity.
