WASHINGTON DC - A woman who was
shot and killed after pro-Trump protesters charged the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday has been identified as 14-year Air Force veteran,
Ashli Babbit, of San Diego. FOX 5's Lindsay Watts spoke with Babbit's mother-in-law on Wednesday evening. "I really don’t know why she decided to do this," Babbit's mother-in-law told Watts. Babbit and her husband owned a business in San Diego. Her husband did not come to D.C., Watts reports. The shooting was reported shortly after 3 p.m. as the situation escalated inside and outside of the Capitol building when Congress began counting the Electoral College votes. Babbit was later pronounced dead after being transported to a local hospital in critical condition. D.C. police have not yet confirmed the circumstances of the shooting.
