The US Attorney for Washington DC has launched a federal excessive force investigation into the death of the Trump-supporting Air Force veteran who was shot dead when rioters breached the US Capitol.
The office of Michael Sherwin, the Acting US Attorney for the District of Columbia, confirmed a formal probe is underway into the shooting death of 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, according to the New York Times.
Sherwin has assigned his civil rights division to lead the case, which is currently under investigation by both the FBI and the DC Metropolitan Police Department.
Babbit, from San Diego, was shot in the chest by a Capitol police officer while she tried to climb through a window into the congressional chambers as part of the violent mob that broke into the Capitol Wednesday.
She died in hospital several hours later.

That’s good stuff. They’ve seen the ultimate result of Leftist policy on a local level for decades, and it isn’t good.
I’m sure the investigation will be fair and honest. Not. And that’s a good point you make. Who hit the policeman with the fire extinguisher (if that’s actually what happened)?
How is that phrase even allowed in journalism??
Thank you for the correction.
IMO then the shooter fired the shot out of fear and lack of training or outright murder with the motive being to purposely kill a Trump supporter.
The shooter will never be ID’d and will get off. If anyone is blamed, it will be Trump.
She was actually coming into the hallway through an already broken window. She had to be unarmed because she had to grip the window frame with both hands...plus she didn’t even look like a serious rioter, since she was wearing a Trump flag tied around her neck and IIRC even laughing when she jumped up there. Also there are several police officers behind her with guns drawn so she clearly couldn’t have been a threat.
The man who shot her was aiming at her and steps out from behind a door or doorway and calmly shoots. I thought he was an older white man with short gray hair, wearing a suit and a white shirt with some kind of cuff links or buttons bearing an emblem. There were a number of very good videos circulating (all disappeared now) right after it happened. He was so clearly visible that it’s unbelievable that his identity isn’t known.
But maybe it is and in the week remaining before this AAG is replaced, he wants to get it all out there.
The murderer must be black. Otherwise, a name would have emerged.
Funny isn’t it. Any other cop does something like this and the media is showing his picture from 2nd grade to try and paint his as a murderer. No name. No picture. No nothing.
“Nothing will come of this your silly to think otherwise. How about they release the shooters name.”
Absolutely nothing will come of this. And of course they won’t release the shooter’s name; was it a congressman, after all? I mean, it’s a bit unusual for a cop to have expensive cuff links, and wear a bracelet on his wrist — especially his dominant, shooting wrist. That shot was not made by a professional; but, if it was a cop, the department from the superintendent on down to the watch commander need to be tossed, as the training sucks.
Why? Standard protocol
Likely outcome: Good Shoot
Tragic, but I think I would have to agree with the outcome.

“ HUH? Pretty sure we’ve already been told that the shooter “Had no choice.”. So, what’s to investigate? ”
The only thing I want to hear ‘moving forward’ when there is an officer involved shooting is “He had no choice!”. EOFS! No more community college aspirants, turning their life around, headed to the recording studio as an ass-pie-ring wrapper line of crap. None of it. Butt, we know better.
It’s going to be the shortest investigation on record. On January 20th at 12:01 PM EST, Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin will be terminated, and the investigation closed.

And quietly in the background the shooter will receive a promotion - terminating an enemy of the state.
The cops were in backdown mode precisely because of the Black Lives Matter objections to their use of excessive force.
But they came on strong in the end because they are always waiting for orders to go all out on anyone when the decision is made by higher authority.
“It was a bad shoot.”
Right up there with that one in (was it Arizona? Nevada?) where the cops had the guy on the floor in the hallway, and one cop was telling him not to move and another cop was telling him to crawl toward them. The poor guy didn’t know what to do, so he raised his head to ask and he was immediately blown away. I heard somewhere that both cops soon fled the country.
Ah, so Satan’s officers are “investigating” the murder committed by one of Satan’s thugs. This outcome will certainly favor We The People. /s
Who. Is. The. Shooter.
“Black man/woman/it shooting unarmed woman in Capitol Bldg? He was possibly not a cop/guard? How about maybe a congressit?”
It fits.
and she had a couple of policemen with M-4’s behind her, ready to shoot her in the back if they thought she was dangerous.
“... higher authority....” Yup, slobbering nanzi probably.
“The shooting video shows the shooter’s arm with what appears to be a black suit coat with white cufflink cuffs and wearing gloves..... Anyone with info?”
No gloves. Dark skin.
Sherwin will be fired in 10 days, so he’s better make this fast
