SAN DIEGO, CA A U.S. Capitol Police officer who fatally shot a San Diego woman during an insurgent raid on the halls of Congress was on administrative leave Thursday pending investigations into the gunfire.
Ashli Babbiit, 35, was killed in the shooting Wednesday afternoon inside the Capitol building as she joined other rioters in storming the complex. As protesters were forcing their way toward the House Chamber where members of Congress were sheltering in place, a sworn USCP employee discharged their service weapon, striking an adult female, Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund said in a statement. Medical assistance was rendered immediately, and the female was transported to the hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. She has been identified as Ashli Babbitt.
