This video shows the shooting of Ashli Babbitt.
The rioters were raging against the officers blocking the door, yelling and bashing the windows out, while other officers arrived on the other side, the Speaker's Lobby side.
Apparently better-armed tactical officers showed up to relieve the ones who were guarding the door on the crowd's side, and as those officers moved away from it, the crowd pushed forward, and some of them boosted Babbitt through an empty space where the window had been destroyed.
That's when one of the officers on the other side shot her in the neck with a handgun. She fell back, and some of the crowd started to tend to her, and then...that's the end of the video.
I don't feel especially bad for her, but her killing just seems so...arbitrary, random, senseless.
The officers on the other side of the door had guns clearly drawn, and people still boosted her through the doorway first.
Why?
There were tactical officers coming up behind them with shotguns or something, and still they proceeded to try and break through.
Why?
Did the officers on the other side of the door have a game plan? Was it just "shoot anybody who tries to come through"? If so, I wonder what happened after this video, because clearly rioters DID get through, at some point.
