Investigators have determined the Capitol Police officer who shot and
killed Ashli Babbitt during the U.S. Capitol riot should not be charged
with any crimes, a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation
told NBC News.
The Wall Street Journal first reported that police investigators have
recommended the officer not be charged, although the U.S. Attorney's
Office will make the final decision on the matter.
Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran and ardent supporter of former
President Donald Trump, was shot during the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S.
Capitol.
The pro-Trump rioters wanted to stop the certification of President Joe
Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election and were threatening members
of Congress and then-Vice President Mike Pence, who were evacuated as the
mob made its way closer to and eventually inside the Capitol Building.
Videos show rioters who made it into the building breaking glass on doors
near the House Chamber, which were blocked haphazardly from the inside
with chairs in an attempt to prevent the mob from entering. As Babbitt
tried to climb through the shattered glass, she was fatally shot by a
Capitol Police officer who fired at her once.

The officer, who has not been identified by Capitol Police or
investigators, "used clear appropriate use of force. It's not even a close
call," said the officer's lawyer, Mark E. Schamel.

The broken doors and a few officers were the only things separating the
mob from members of Congress, Schamel stressed. "I think it's his heroism
and his restraint that saved lives," Schamel told NBC News.
The Department of Justice announced last month that the Metropolitan
Police Department of the District of Columbia would investigate the
shooting, and the officer was placed on leave.
"This is routine, standard procedure whenever an officer deploys lethal
force. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia is
overseeing the investigation," a Justice Department spokesperson said at
the time.
The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
A spokesperson for the Capitol Police said the department does not comment
on ongoing investigations.
A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police Department said the
investigation was not complete, and "it would be irresponsible to make an
investigatory assumption or to jump to any conclusion."
"There is no further update available to provide at this time," she said.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington is investigating the attack on
the Capitol and leading prosecutions against an ever-growing list of more
than 150 people who were allegedly involved.
Four other people, including a Capitol Police officer, died as a result of
the Jan. 6 rioting.
Babbitt was a decorated security forces controller in the Air Force and
served multiple Middle East tours from 2004 to 2016.
Using the handle CommonAshSense, Babbitt’s Twitter account was almost
singularly focused on radical conservative topics and conspiracy theories.

Babbitt was a loyal Fox News watcher, according to thousands of tweets to
Fox News hosts, but she also engaged on social media with the conspiracy
site InfoWars. In 2020, Babbitt began to tweet with QAnon accounts and use
QAnon hashtags.
The day before the rally, she tweeted, "Nothing will stop us....they can
try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in
less than 24 hours....dark to light!”
On forums and platforms like Parler, where Trump supporters and QAnon
followers fled after being banned on Twitter and Facebook, many claimed
Babbitt’s death was faked. Others on the far-right have hailed Babbitt as
a martyr for the cause.
