Family of Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt sues for identity of police officer who shot her

• The officer had been placed on administrative leave in the days following the insurrection.

Background: The officer shot Babbitt in the left shoulder while she tried to climb through a broken window on a door into the Speaker's Lobby. She was one of five people who died as a result of the invasion of the Capitol.

What they're saying: "The actual evidence is this: the officer shot an unarmed woman who was not an immediate threat to him or any Member of Congress," said Terrell Roberts, an attorney for Babbitt’s family.

• “We strongly disagree with the U.S. Attorney’s decision. But we are not dissuaded from our goal of ultimately vindicating Ashli Babbitt’s constitutional rights in the civil arena," he added, per CNBC.
