There will be no charges against the U.S. Capitol police officer who shot and killed an unarmed woman who was climbing through a broken window in the Capitol during the January 6th riot. She was shot at point-blank range. It looked like she presented no threat, although his lawyer said he was afraid there could be a bomb in her backpack.
“Officials examined video footage posted on social media, statements from the officer involved and other officers and witnesses to the events, physical evidence from the scene of the shooting, and the results of an autopsy,” the DOJ said in a statement.
“Based on that investigation, officials determined that there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution.”
The officer remains unidentified in the public sphere.
Terrell Roberts, an attorney for the family, told The Epoch Times that the decision was “baffling.”
“I find it to be baffling given the circumstances that it’s a clear case of shooting unarmed person without any legal justification, but I have no idea what went into their decision,” Roberts said.
The family plans to move forward with a lawsuit against the officer for an excessive use of force.
Babbitt’s death was caused by the gunshot, which hit her left shoulder, the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled last week. The manner of death was homicide.
This was handled very differently from the way Daunte Wright’s death is treated.
The shooting, very graphic:
He shot a Trump supporter so it doesn’t matter. Maybe Trump supporters should do like BLM supporters and Burn-Loot-and Murder. Oh that’s right, we are more civilized than those jungle baboons.
Without proof the officer shot a person on HIS belief that he thought there may have been a bomb, shot her at point blank range with nothing in her hands. There was no bomb, he shot and killed an innocent person simply by panicking and firing his gun. He should be charged with murder as she was un-armed.
This action of not charging the person who shot her is scape goating the situation as well as protecting the guilty. The sad fact is they will always blame Trump supporters even though there is evidence showing Antifa and BLM were there, changing into Trump hats with signs. The democrats are just evil.
The video clearly shows, for just a moment, a black man in a suit(not a uniform) with his arm raised pointing his pistol and firing (you need to “freeze” the video and incrementally advance the footage)
We have only the MSM’s statement that the purp was captol police! What if he wasn’t? If you don’t Id him how can you tell?
This glaring injustice will now be forgotten if left to the powers that be, DON’T FORGET ASHLY !
You are correct. First he was a capital cop then he was security for a senator then he was back to being a capital cop. He looks like a planted ‘spook’ to me. This was a ‘sheep shute’ with capital cops all in with the protesters and in plain sight and right there trailing her to the ambush site. All set up to set the narrative of a bloody insurrection by the unruly gun toting conservative white people! There is only one way we America will every be in charge of our government again and it rhymes with 1776.
Where are the ‘secret probes’ of conservatives being shot and killed? All of those investigations are plastered all over the air waves, and the officers get doxxed, and require 24/7 security.
Switch the races between shooter and victim and watch the fireworks. Disgusting what has become of this country.
WOW! Not real surprised though. Just wrong, just wrong considering the country is burning cuz of a real criminal puke. Absolutely no reason to shoot her. The cops name is David Bailey. His social media was purged moons ago but one of his fagbook post stated “Anybody that is ‘standing back and standing by’ might wanna unfollow me…..you don’t want these problems….” There is a guy named John De Nugent that has a website with his picture and story.
TOTAL FALSE FLAG
Oh no! Now we’re gonna have to endure even more bleating from those tough conservative gun huggers. Was bad enough when Trump was triggering the leftards and we had to listen to those whiney college wimps. Now we got bleats and choruses of bleats from the whole political spectrum. Biden’s shoulda been a conductor.
Of the dead woman was black it would be a different result. How long before white people start asking why we are being persecuted ?
Justice in America……. The Officer who made a tragic mistake and shot Duante Wright is charged with manslaughter while the office who intentionally shot Ashli Babbitt gets off.
Local enemedia agitprop-Two small town police officers up north charge with arrested for using excessive force from 2018, chief is charged with firing false reports.
Capital City PD will now have a Diversity and Inclusion council but YT is not welcome there.
Meanwhile the CCP is laughing until it hurts their sides and wiping the tears of joy from tear stained cheeks as they have succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Beria, Stalin, thanks to a faculty lounge Fundamental Transformation fifth column.
If having a backpack is enough cause to shoot an unarmed woman or man during a riot, then why isn’t that standard applied to the endless riots we’ve seen across the nation over the last year? Many of those backpacks were packed with items used as weapons.
This is just another disgraceful whitewash.
It looks to me like the shooter may black, that would explain a lot.
David Baily. Black capital police officer. They don’t want anyone to know!

Color me surprised. /sarc/ We knew from the beginning that the officer would never be charged. The Left and their STASI (aka the various Fed alphabet agencies) want you and me and ALL conservatives dead. Keep that in mind. If arrested, give only uour name, rank, serial number and date of birth. Yes, you would be a prisoner of war and is all te info required of you. Then invoke the Fifth and do not say another word. Forget about a lawyer as you will likely be arrested under the NDAA.
It’s open season on whites and Asians, while criminal blacks are lionized and the police officers charged with trying to control them are persecuted.
True, to a certain degree. It’s my belief this is wholesale war on anyone who disagrees with the current lot “in charge”. If you hold conservative thoughts, regardless of skin color, they will shut you down, shut you up or put you down.
What they’re doing now is merely seeing what they can get away with. What’s to come will be much worse and it’s just around the bend.
It was a coup. Criminals are now in charge. Bill Barr was the AG the day of the murder and for 2 weeks after. Under him were Wray and the FBI. This does not end well. There is no one and nothing to stop them. We have prisoners in solitary confinement for being ushered into the building that day. The US is over. This criminal activity does not get stopped without the public reacting, no one in DC will help us.
Indeed, this feels a lot like post WW2 and the insertion of The Stasi in the GDR and the Secret Police of the USSR.
BLM/Antifa, the storm-troopers for the new regime.
Very scary and, you are right, this is NOT going to end well for any of us.
