A female US Air Force veteran was yesterday shot and killed by police while storming the Capitol Building with Donald Trump’s riotous brigades in Washington DC.
Ashli Babbit, 35, from San Diego, was shot in the chest when she tried to clamber through a barricaded entrance as police faced off with hundreds of the president’s supporters inside the legislature. She died several hours later.
Babbit’s husband told KUSI she was a 14-year veteran who served four tours with USAF as a ‘high level security official,’ she was a fervent Trump supporter and ‘a great patriot to all who knew her.’
Footage of the incident shows Trump supporters smashing windows at double doors which officers had barricaded with furniture after hundreds poured through the hallways to demand Joe Biden’s election be overturned.
‘He’s got a gun,’ one of the rioters starts to yell to his comrades – but the warning is too late – and Babbitt can be seen trying to climb through a broken window before a shot is fired which sends her flailing backwards. 
Blood pours from her mouth as protesters scramble around her while police officers with rifles try and secure the chaotic hallway, telling the rioters to get down on the floor.
A fellow Trump supporter told WUSA 9: ‘A number of police and secret service were saying “get back, get down, get out of the way.”
‘She didn’t heed the call and as we kind of raced up to grab people and pull them back they shot her in the neck and she fell back on me.
‘And she started to say “it’s fine, it’s cool” and then she started kinda moving weird and blood was coming out of her mouth and neck and nose and I don’t know if she’s alive or dead any more.’
He added: ‘I’m not injured… it could have been me, but she went in first.’
She was shot by a plainclothes officer after trying to enter the House chamber, said Washington Police Chief Robert Contee.
The shooting is being probed by the police force’s internal affairs unit, as is standard procedure for any death involving an officer.
‘I’m numb. I’m devastated. Nobody from DC notified my son and we found out on TV,’ her mother-in-law, Robin Babbitt, told the New York Post.
