At 2:44 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd shoots Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran from San Diego, as she attempts to climb through a broken window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker's Lobby adjacent to the House chamber. Babbitt later dies from her injuries. Lawmakers are evacuating the House chamber at the time. This is the only shooting death during the Capitol attack.
