Ashli Babbitt's family files $30 million lawsuit over Jan. 6 shooting death

In the lawsuit, Babbitt's family claimed that she was unarmed and had her hands in the air when she was shot once by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd.

However, in August of 2021, an internal investigation determined Byrd acted within dept policy and further found that his actions had "potentially saved members and staff from serious injury and possible death."

I don't like to speak ill of the dead but she was asking to be shot.

@Idissent Yep, the rest of them too. Fortunately πŸ€”(maybe) they weren't.
