DC Protests: Woman SHOT Ashli Babbitt inside Capitol was an Air Force Ve...
The woman who died after she was shot in the neck inside the Capitol, as a mob of Trump supporters stormed the halls of Congress on Wednesday, was identified by family members as Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt.
The shooting occurred shortly after dozens of Trump supporters breached the government building, where lawmakers had been meeting to certify the presidential election until they were evacuated amid an attempted coup. After hours of riots inside the halls of Congress, President-elect Joe Biden was officially certified as the winner of the presidential election early Thursday morning.
DC Police confirmed that the woman was shot by Capitol Police. Officials have not publicly identified the woman, or the circumstances of the shooting, but her family members spoke to various media outlets.
Babbitt’s ex-husband, Timothy McEntee, told the Washington Post that Babbitt served in Afghanistan and Iraq in the Air Force and was later deployed to Kuwait and Qatar with the National Guard.

According to her social media accounts, Babbitt was an ardent Trump supporter and follower of QAnon, the mass delusion that claims Trump is fighting a deep state cabal of child abusers.
