Det var Ashli Babbitt som ble skutt og drept inne i Kongressen i Washington onsdag, skriver flere medier.

Ifølge NBC News var det en politibetjent som skjøt henne, men dette er ikke offisielt bekreftet.

Babbitt var fra San Diego og hadde tjenestegjort i US Air Force i 14 år.

Bilder som ble strømmet fra Capitol Hill viste Babbitt liggende nesten livløs. Babbitts ektefelle sa til KUSI-TV i San Diego at hun var en «strong supporter of President Trump, and was a great patriot to all who knew her».

Ashli Babbitt ble skutt i brystet, skriver Heavy.com. Hun var en High Level Security Official da hun tjenestegjorde i U.S. Air Force, ifølge KUSI-TV:

Babbitt was «a 14-year veteran, who served four tours with the US Air Force, and was a high level security official throughout her time in service.»

På Twitter hadde hun skrevet «Nothing will stop us….they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours….dark to light!».

På et bilde lagt ut på sosiale medier har hun på seg en QAnon skjorte. Til en kvinne som skrev: «Landing in DC. Here to do God’s work. Save the Republic. #StoptheSteal», svarte Babbitt 4. januar: «I will be there tomorrow! Gods speed!»

På et bilde lagt ut på Twitter har hun på seg en MAGA-cap. «We are out here enjoying our Saturday!!! together we can #MAGA #KAG God bless president trump and god bless America ?????? #Trump2020 #4MoreYears», skrev hun.

En video viser at Babbitt blir skutt. Et skudd høres idet hun tar seg gjennom et vindu i the Speaker’s lobby:

Trump: – Gå hjem

Etter at Babbitt ble skutt la president Trump ut videoen hvor han oppfordret folk til å gå hjem:

«I know your pain. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us» sa Trump.

«It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, but you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anyone hurt. We’ve never had such a thing like this that happened where they can take it away from all of us. This was a fraudulent election, but we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. We love you. You’re very special. You’ve seen how others are treated who are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel. But go home and go home in peace.»
