So far, more than 570 people have faced criminal charges relating to the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6 this year, following a rally near the White House where then-president Donald Trump egged them on to march on the Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification by Congress of Joe Biden’s victory in the November 2020 presidential election.

The United States Capitol Police has issued the result of its internal investigation into the killing of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot as she tried to enter the chamber of the House of Representatives, through a smashed window in a door, during the www.theguardian.com/us-news/us-capitol-breachinsurrection by extremist supporters of then-president Donald Trump on January 6 this year.
After interviewing multiple witnesses and reviewing all the available evidence, including video and radio calls, the United States Capitol Police has completed the internal investigation into the fatal shooting of Ms. Ashli Babbitt, which occurred in the Speaker’s Lobby on January 6.
USCP’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) determined the officer’s conduct was lawful and within Department policy, which says an officer may use deadly force only when the officer reasonably believes that action is in the defense of human life, including the officer’s own life, or in the defense of any person in immediate danger of serious physical injury.
