Ashli Babbitt's widower suing for name of cop who shot her
2021-06-15
[NYP] The husband of slain Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt is demanding the feds identify the Capitol officer who fatally shot her during the Jan. 6 siege — because the ongoing "silence is deafening."

"Somebody up in DC knows, I think a lot of people know, but nobody is telling us," Aaron Babbitt told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Monday night.

The widower is suing to get the officer’s name, saying that it "never occurred" to him that a government employee would be allowed to shoot someone dead and still remain anonymous.

"I never expected to lose my wife to political violence," he told Carlson, saying it also "sickens me to hear what people say about Ashley" on social media.

"There has never been a person Ashli ran across in her daily life that didn’t love her," he insisted, blaming "social media craziness that people just run with a theory and just take off with it."

Babbitt’s attorney, Terrell Roberts, said it was his "belief" that the officer could be one who previously made headlines for leaving his loaded gun in a public restroom inside the Capitol in February 2019. He offered no reason, however, beyond Carlson noting rumors on social media.

#1  The fact that her husband (or the American people) have not been provided a full accounting of the details is inexcusable.

Are we eventually to learn that the Capital Hill police 'shooter' was absent the day of the briefing, or failed to read the memo ?
