All told, seven people died in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6. But only Ashli Babbitt’s death was directly caused by violence that day. She was a rioter killed by a Capitol Police officer, who fired the only shot by any person during the 4½-hour siege. Yet the story of who he is and why he opened fire remains shrouded in mystery.
More than six weeks after Babbitt succumbed to a single gunshot wound to the upper chest, authorities are keeping secret the identity of the officer who fired the fatal round. They won’t release his name, and the major news media aren’t clamoring for it, in stark contrast to other high-profile police shootings of unarmed civilians.
The secrecy has fueled Internet reports misidentifying the shooter as a Capitol Police special agent previously commended by President Trump for bravery. The false rumors have triggered threats against the officer.

When it first broke, she had a boyfriend. Now she had a husband
Still no info as to why two Capitol Hill police officers killed themselves in the days following the rally.
That’ll get investigated as soon as the Seth Rich one is complete.
Two questions persist: 1) who was the cop, and; 2) Why did he then stop shooting?
Did they ever disclose what they found in Babbitt’s backpack? I’m sure if it were weapons we would have been hearing it since day 1. They can’t make those charges if it were water bottles and trail mix
That tactic worked for corona so it’s definitely in their playbook
“There should be a training video on how he handled that situation. What he did was unbelievable heroism.”
Good; then we start by identifying him.
Unbelievable heroism....
Just a few moments earlier in the video there were two uniformed officers standing in front of the doors. THEY MOVED SO THAT SOME RIOTERS COULD BREAK THE WINDOWS. I have no idea why this guy couldn’t see the armed cops STANDING RIGHT BESIDE HER. The explanation is garbage.
The “pool” was perhaps 2” with a few spattered drops. A “cop” later used his foot to smear it around.
I’ve seen enough death to never want to see more, thank you.
There was no way the “shooter” could have hit her with the angle of the gun when he shot.
Yes, death can be faked or have you not been to the movies in decades?
The people there at the scene said, “They are all actors”.
There has been no investigation, no death notices, no autopsy, no funeral, no weeping family: husband, parents etc.
So yes you are among those who saw what you were meant to see and are fervently defending it. I am not, until proven otherwise.
Unfortunately, I’m skeptical of things that are claimed without any proof: like where’s the body, the funeral, the investigation, the autopsy, the weeping family?
I will continue to take the word of the people there at the time who said, on camera, that they were all actors.
She. Wasn’t. Black.
If whoever shot her isn’t prosecuted, then neither should Kyle Rittenhouse.
OK, but here is a FReeper who says he was there and personally witnessed Ashli on a stretcher with blood gushing out her neck.
Despite the fact there was no blood gushing when she was shot.
Consider this... A real bullet fired from essentially point blank range would have passed THROUGH Ashli Babbitt’s body AND struck beyond it leaving a (possibly) massive blood stain/splatter mark and/or hole in the wall. Yet we see nothing on the wall OR “cop” there!
AND there were witnesses further up the hallway who were watching what transpired and appear totally unconcerned about it. Just walking from office to office carrying what seem to be docs. No running, hiding, or panic.
So, yes, I think it was fake if not on any of the other evidence at least those two points. As well as a lack of evidence from ems personnel, AWA no DoD claims of “Not in Line of Duty” regarding her “death” in a well publicized event.
The many police behind her didn’t seem to have any fear for their lives or seemed to be concerned she’d cause a massacre.
Who is the shooter? Who’s this David person?
The real story is why the Capitol had less security than a beach in winter.
She was a veteran - no longer active duty.
I agree. The U.S. Capitol Police has over 2,000 police officers. That’s like a small army. Where were they all that day?
It was posted not long after the event that the shooter was a black man with that name and supposedly a $bm/pantyfa proponent. Strictly supposition from what I could tell with no proof. THAT crap can get folks killed. Internet rumors.
