>> Babbitt’s death was caused by the gunshot, which hit her left shoulder
Given the publicly released videos, the barrel of the gun would need to be pointed upwards by about 10 degrees. The barrel of the gun was nearly parallel to the ground when the muzzle flashed. That's with 3 36" doors, the gun centered horizontally within the frame of the 1st door ~62" above the ground, Ashli's shoulder ~72" above the ground ~56" to the right within the frame of the 3rd door.
Possible exceptions: the gunman's super tall and/or Ashli was leaning very far forward bent at the waist. In the latter exception, Ashli would have fallen forward, not backwards.

You are over analyzing it without direct evidence. She was shot. She wasnt armed. She was not a threat. DC and the capitol in particular seem to only be governed by federal statute, which apparently says its not against the law to shoot a civilian in the capitol. No reasonable prosecutor would indict...
