The police officer who shot Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt dead has been suspended and the incident is currently under investigation.
Babbitt was shot in the neck at almost point blank range during yesterday’s chaos in DC during the storming of the Capitol building.
Footage of the shocking incident clearly shows that non-lethal measures could have been used against Babbitt, who served her country during a 14 year stint in the Air Force.
The officer who shot Babbitt, who was wearing a suit and positioned inside the Senate chamber when he opened fire, has now been suspended pending an investigation.
US Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund also said that there would be a “thorough review” of security measures following the incident.
Sund said in his statement that officers had acted “valiantly” against rioters who “actively attacked United States Capitol Police Officers and other uniformed law enforcement officers with metal pipes, discharged chemical irritants, and took up other weapons against our officers.”
As we highlighted earlier, some leftist commentators called for police to shoot Trump supporters before Babbitt was killed, while others gloated over her death on Facebook and Twitter.
Three other people died during the bedlam, but authorities have only revealed that they were killed as a result of “medical emergencies.”
Immediately after the shooting, mainstream media journalists such as Huffington Post’s Matt Fuller falsely claimed that Trump supporters were shooting into the chamber, when the opposite was true.
I don’t want a “thorough review.” I want him indicted for murder.
expect nothing. the only thing lower than a white female in this country is a white male.
white’s can only redeem themselves by being gay, trans or marrying blacks. That latter doesn’t apply to the white men, only white women.
Should be arrested and tried for First Degree Murder.

They will withhold the name.
They support Police shootings now.

‘
They’ve made the decision - now they work their way backwards to sport the Murder.

I’ll bet we never find out his identity. Publicly he’ll be reprimanded and privately he’ll be congratulated and given some award or cash bonus.
I’ve seen other reports on FR that referred to the shooter as a “police department employee”. Is this guy an active policeman or a civilian?
It is noted that the shooter was in civilian clothes at least a white dress shirt with what appeared to be cuff link cuffs.
I want a name
Neither being gay nor "marrying" a black man helped Milo.

Ashli Babbitt RIP.
This investigation will be a JoeK
Jim needs to start banning bastards like you.
Should the Kavanaugh unarmed #metoo women been shot in their faces for doing the same?
Name and address? Any kids? Where do they go to school?
If Rittenhouse can be charged, this “alleged” murderer can be, too. But watch closely as it doesn’t happen.
No, she was probably murdered by a well-dressed gun thug who their Media won’t name.
Black man shooting unarmed woman in Capitol Bldg? He was possibly not a cop/guard? How about maybe a congressit?

Does he have a name?
What was she doing that warranted the officer drawing his gun on her? Or was it her gun. I noticed that any gendered pronouns are avoided in the story, at least as it relates to the shooter.
