The United States Attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., is opening an “excessive force” probe into the death of pro-Trump protester Ashli Babbit, who was shot and killed while she and others attempted to storm a Congressional chamber during a riot at the United States Capitol last Wednesday.
Babbit, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran from California, was one of a number of protesters-turned-rioters who took part in the attack, overpowering Capitol Police and storming through the Capitol building, allegedly looking to target federal lawmakers and disrupt the vote certifying Democrat Joe Biden as the winner of the November presidential election. The riot resulted in five deaths, including Babbit’s.
