The identity of the suspected Capitol police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt on January 6 has been named by Babbitt’s family attorney. During an interview on Fox last month, attorney Terrell Roberts said he believed the shooter was the same officer who left his loaded handgun in a public restroom on Capitol Hill back in 2019. Reports identified that officer as Lt. Michael Byrd.
Reports have connected the dots with Officer Byrd’s track record of reckless handling of firearms and suggested he was likely the one responsible for killing Ashli Babbitt. Byrd was also mentioned as being at the scene of the shooting during separate testimony from the Capitol Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett.
We might have the name of the officer who killed Ashli Babbitt
His name has come up several times on social media since January 6th.
Timothy Blodgett, in an exchange with Rep. Herrera-Buetler during a hearing on Jan. 6 casually dropped the name, Officer Byrd, as an officer at the door when Mrs. Babbitt was shot. Lt. Byrd appears to be the Commander of the House chambers.
Sergeant At Arms, Timothy Blodgett goofed in a hearing and confirms Lieutenant Mike Byrd killed Ashli Babbitt.
He also claims his Sergeant at Arms employee rendered aid, he is lying. His employee touched her once, watched her bleed out, then contaminated the crime scene. https://t.co/M8uCWRKkfQpic.twitter.com/lHxIfN0tz6

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden s first address to Congress is an invite-only affair, no guests allowed.
The restrictions for Wednesday s event are due to COVID-19 safety protocols, but they will have the added security benefit of a limited number of people inside the U.S. Capitol for the president s first major indoor event since he took office just weeks after the Jan. 6 insurrection. Fencing is still up around the Capitol, and the National Guard is still there.
