Four people died during Trump supporters' "Stop The Steal" rally on Wednesday. The shooting death of one woman was caught on camera as she attempted to break into the Capitol building. A demonstrator who was right next to the deceased woman was interviewed and detailed the events that led to the shooting.
"We had stormed into the chambers inside and there was a young lady who rushed through the windows," said the teen, who identified himself as Thomas from New Jersey. "A number of police and Secret Service were saying, 'Get back. Get down, get out of the way.' She didn't heed the call and as we kind of raced up to grab people and pull them back, they shot her in the neck and she fell back on me and started saying she was fine, it's cool. And then she started moving weird and blood was coming out of her mouth and neck and nose."
Thomas continued by saying riot police came and ushered the group out of the building. When asked how they got into the Capitol, he said that they tore through the scaffolding, flashbangs, and tear gas before blitzing their way into the building.
He added that the group was trying to approach Congress and demand an investigation into the outcome of the presidential election. Thomas also blamed the government for the woman's death, stating that they don't "represent anyone and will just kill people."
"They don't care, they think we're a joke," Thomas continued. "Two thousand dollar checks was a joke to them. There's people filming us, laugh at us as we march down the street...it was a joke to them until we got inside and then all of a sudden guns came out."
The woman who was shot dead inside the Capitol building has been identified as Ashli Babbit, a 14-year military veteran who served four tours with the United States Air Force. Babbit was a San Diego native and an open Trump supporter.
