WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - A woman who was shot and killed after pro-Trump protesters charged the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday has been identified as 14-year Air Force veteran, Ashli Babbit, of San Diego.
D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee confirmed late Wednesday that Babbit was shot by a Capitol police officer. An internal investigation is now underway.
FOX 5's Lindsay Watts spoke with Babbit's mother-in-law on Wednesday evening.
"I really don’t know why she decided to do this," Babbit's mother-in-law told Watts.
Babbit and her husband owned a business in San Diego. Her husband did not come to D.C., Watts reports.
