The Capitol police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt during the Capitol riot on January 6 has reportedly been formally exonerated after the Capitol Police conducted an internal investigation, according to an internal document.
A memo from the commander of the Capitol Police’s Office of Personal Responsibility obtained by NBC News says that “no further action will be taken in this matter” after the officer was exonerated for his use of force, the outlet reported.
There are now no remaining open investigations into Babbitt’s shooting.
In April, the Justice Department announced that it would not pursue criminal charges against the officer, saying that it did not find that the officer had violated any federal laws. The officer’s name has not been made public.
“Officials examined video footage posted on social media, statements from the officer involved and other officers and witnesses to the events, physical evidence from the scene of the shooting, and the results of an autopsy,” the Justice Department said in an April 14 press release on its decision. “Based on that investigation, officials determined that there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution.”
Video of the incident showed Babbitt, 35, at the front of a crowd of Trump supporters inside the Capitol near a door leading to the Speaker’s Lobby just outside the House. On the other side, members of Congress were being evacuated. Babbitt is seen being hoisted up by a pair of men to a broken window, at which point the police officer in plain clothes fires one bullet in her direction, and she falls backward and starts bleeding. Babbitt was transported to a hospital, where she died later.

Democrats investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong,
God? What God? /s/ This country is as pagan as ancient Rome, maybe worse.
Secret courts?
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...
This IS NOT the country in which I was born.
I have respect for local police; but very little for the Capitol Police.
and All are made painfully aware of why most investigations are conducted by persons independent of those being investigated
Sure it is! Its the country that still has classified files they won’t release 60 years after the JFK assassination, even though Oswald is the lone assassin. Still have classified files on WWII. Still has classified files onn all sorts of evil underhanded things.
