Police Lieutenant Who Shot and Killed Ashli Babbitt Confesses on TV

On January 6th, 2021, Ashli Elizabeth Babbitt was executed by a Capitol Police Officer who seemed to hold no restraint. She was not armed, she posed no physical threat to the Capitol Police Officer who shot her. She was even surrounded by SWAT tactical officers with guns on the side of the door that she was climbing through as she was shot by the Capitol Police Officer. The name of the person who executed Ashli Babbitt is Lieutenant Michael Byrd. Speaking in an interview with Lester Holt — which aired on Thursday at 6:30pm on NBC News — the officer opened up about what happened on January 6, 2021. Federal prosecutors also cleared the officer of any wrongdoing after an investigation into the shooting and did not publicly name him.
