One person, a woman, who had been shot during Wednesday’s attempted coup has died.
“The woman’s name was not released,” The Washington Post reports. “Video posted on social media showed a crowd inside the Capitol, a gunshot is heard and then the woman, wearing a Trump banner around her neck, is lowered to the ground. She could later be seen being loaded into an ambulance with blood around her upper body.”
“CNN reported that the woman was in critical condition after being struck in the chest,” Business Insider notes, “while the Washington Examiner said she was hit in the neck and shared a graphic video.”
Editor’s note: This article has been updated. The woman who was shot was apparently Ashli Babbitt, who was shot by a U.S. Capitol Police officer, according to the DOJ. An earlier version of this article incorrectly reported she had been shot by Trump supporters. The Associated Press in 2022 described Babbitt as an “insurrectionist” who “had become consumed by pro-Trump conspiracy theories and posted angry screeds on social media.”
