The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the January 6 Capitol riot has been exonerated following an internal investigation, according to reports.
Babbitt, 35, was the only person killed on January 6 when the officer - who hasn't been named - opened fire at a mob of Trump supporters as they stormed through the Rotunda.
The commander of the Capitol Police's Office of Personal Responsibility says 'no further action will be taken in this matter,' according to a memo obtained by NBC News.
In April, the Department of Justice said it wouldn't be filing charges against the officer, so the conclusion of the internal probe ends the official investigation.
Babbitt's family told The Washington Examiner earlier this month that they plan on filing a $10million wrongful death lawsuit, claiming a plainclothes officer didn't issue a verbal command.

Can we play the exoneration game too?

Why haven’t they yet ?
They never will I think.
She was just the star who’s death was supposed to instigate a reaction problem they were going to be the answer for.
It was Pelosi theatre.
Eagerly awaiting the suit.
If it comes ,
it will be act 2
It will lose, hopeing to start the reaction problem they tried to get in act 1.
There is no QANON
Q was a honey pot
The crisis actor known as Ashley is sipping pina colodas on some private retirement luxury island.
Jmho.
I ask over and over: WTF where the full kit Capitol police doing non nonchalantly going up the steps with Ashli,Antifa/BLM and other (apparent)Trump supporters? They know exactly WTF happened and they were the ones to provide first aid as she bled out. Those on the other side were suited thugs.
Trump is the one who was exonerated, not this officer.
‘...but some day he will have to face the ultimate Judge who is no so easily fooled.’
which won’t do a whole lot for the poor women’s family today...
No question, the true anti-American and criminal deep state absolutely cannot allow any light to shine on their very advanced effort to forever enslave America to totalitarianism.
No it doesn’t
Did he get a medal for shooting Ashley?
Any good shoot involves a fear for your life, or the life of
someone else.
She was not armed.
I don’t think it was premeditated. We can argue that.
It was at least second degree murder.
She was behind a door from him. In a comparison to a house,
she was on the front porch. She was an unarmed woman outside
(in her relationship to him).
There are cases across the nation every day, where an over
wrought home owner has shot someone on their front porch.
That is considered actionable. And if they are unarmed, you
haven’t a chance of getting off without prison time.
This officer is guilty of a crime.
He should go to prison for this. Not for only two weeks
either...
Can her family sue for a wrongful death case?
Also a SWAT team had stood by while the windows in the doors and side panels leading into the hall were broken out, giving Ashli the reasonable expectation that she'd not be at risk if she continued. (They'd probably stood by because they saw that the members had evacuated.)
In the extremely noisy hall there's no evidence Ashli heard the warning "he's got a gun" shouted by John Sullivan, who was making a video on the opposite side. She was not some nut who defied a drawn gun and warning, and proceeded to her death. She was shot from ambush, as soon as she leaned through the window and without being given a chance to turn back. She never even turned her head toward the shooter.
Zoom image showing how empty the hall was at the moment Ashli (with a flag backpack) was shot -- image. The open door seen in the distance -- with a man waiting there -- is at the end of a long hall.

Video from the right side of the hall showing the police, including a SWAT team present with Ashli -- video (audio of "he's got a gun" not heard there).
Sullivan's video from the left side -- video (drawn gun visible, and "he's got a gun" audible).
If the shooter had merely stepped in front of Ashli and let her see his drawn weapon -- all the other police were in the open, and none of them had been shot -- if he'd given her a chance to retreat, I'm sure nobody would have been killed. The rioters were breaking the law, yes, and deserved some punishment, but the killing of Ashli was treacherous and in my opinion downright evil.
Sorry for repeating that. The second one has the link to the image.
I recommend that everyone save the videos if you can (especially the one taken from the right) because they prove how unjustified the shooting was.
I agree completely with everything you said.
Glad to hear that. I think the evidence is right before us in the videos.
Thank you for this post and the follow-ups.
