Four fatalities during the Capitol riot
Hundreds of pro-Trump supporters went to the Capitol on Wednesday during the scheduled certification of presidential election results. Many of them broke inside the Capitol which forced lawmakers to flee the building.
According to a report in Daily News, the D.C. police authorities have already identified and named four persons on Thursday who died during the Capitol siege. They were Ashli Babbitt, Benjamin Philips, Kevin Greeson, and Roseanne Boyland.
Officials confirmed on Thursday that 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by a Capitol officer as she tried to break through a door inside the Capitol.
New York Post yesterday. I m numb. I m devastated. Nobody from D.C. notified my son and we found out on TV, Robin Babbitt said, adding her son s wife was a Trump supporter .
ROSANNE BOYLAND Rosanne Boyland, 34, was the youngest of the three Trump supporters who died due to unspecified medical emergencies . Ms Boyland was from Kennesaw, Georgia and was a graduate of North Cobb High School. An unnamed sister of Ms Boyland told 11Alive reporter Paola Suro she was a really happy, wonderful person . While the exact circumstances of her death have not yet been released, there are unconfirmed reports she was crushed during the siege.
Four people are dead after a mob of Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, as Congress was meeting to confirm the results of the Presidential election. Dozens of police officers were injured as they attempted to control the angry crowd.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Ashli Babbitt, 35, was killed in an officer-involved shooting. A witness said in an appearance on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that Babbitt was shot as she tried to climb through a window at the Capitol building. Multiple reports indicate that area was restricted or blocked off, even as the rioters appeared to move freely through other areas of the building.
