The Associated Press reported Wednesday night that a total of four people died today after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol.

DC police Chief Robert Contee said one woman was shot by Capitol Police and three others died in “medical emergencies.”

Ashli Babbit, a 14-year veteran from San Diego who served 4 tours with the US Air Force as a high-level security officer was shot and killed today by Capitol Police.

Ashli Babbit was shot through a window on a closed door by an officer.

Babbit appeared to be standing behind a group of people who were attempting to gain entry into the chamber.

Police had barricaded the doors and were attempting to keep the patriot protesters out — and then drew their weapons.

They opened fired and shot Ashli in the neck.

She was wheeled out of the Capital in a stretcher covered in blood and later pronounced dead.

The Metropolitan Police Department said there is an investigation into her death.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser to extend public emergency for 15 days

The mayor of Washington, D.C. extended the city’s public emergency for 15 more days on Wednesday night in response to the chaotic pro-Trump protests that erupted inside the U.S. Capitol earlier in the day.

“They have fired chemical irritants, bricks, bottles, and guns. They have breached the security of the Capitol and their destructive and riotous behavior has the potential to spread beyond the Capitol. Their motivation is ongoing,” Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a statement.

Bowser also said “some persons” dissatisfied with the certification of the Electoral College votes will continue to protest violently through January 20th, the day President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated into office.

Bowser imposed a citywide curfew starting at 6 p.m. Wednesday until 6 a.m. Thursday.
