On January 6, 2021, Ashli Babbitt was fatally shot during an attack on the United States Capitol.^[1]^[2]^[3] She was part of a crowd of supporters of then U.S. president Donald Trump who breached the United States Capitol building seeking to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.^[4]^[5]^[6]

Babbitt's attempt to climb through a shattered window beside a barricaded door into the Speaker's Lobby was thwarted when she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10] After a USCP emergency response team administered aid, Babbitt was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she died.^[11]^[12] The USCP deemed the shooting was "lawful and within Department policy" and "potentially saved Members (of Congress) and staff from serious injury and possible death".^[13]^[14]
