During yesterday's protest in Washington D.C., a Turmp-supporting US Air Force Veteran, Ashli Babbitt, was shot dead by a Capitol Police officer (who has been placed on leave) as she attempted to climb through a broken window to bypass a barricade, along with other Trump supporters.

Filming the incident from behind Babbit, however, was Utah resident John Sullivan - founder of the far-left organization "Insurgence USA" who made headlines in July after he was arrested for intimidating drivers in Provo. Sullivan was interviewed by the Daily Mail and CNN following Wednesday's shooting - both of which failed to provide a satisfactory answer as to why he was there in the first place.

 

Sullivan told the Mail that "he was not at the Capitol as part of the protest but did not specify what exactly brought him there."

Meanwhile, Trump supporters physically stopped someone from trying to break into the Capitol Building.

What was Sullivan doing there?

Footage has emerged which appears show the moment when a woman was shot in the Capitol building during its takeover by pro-Trump supporters. Three other fatalities were reported amid the protest.

The video shows a group of Trump supporters standing next to a barricaded door. A single gunshot can be heard, though footage doesn’t show the shooting itself. Shortly afterwards, the victim can be seen bleeding on the floor as members of the DC Capitol police are giving her first aid.

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGERY

 

The victim was identified by multiple media outlets as Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran from San Diego.

Police Chief Robert Contee confirmed that a police officer shot the woman, who died in hospital later in the day. He added three other people, a woman and two men, died in “medical emergencies” in the area around Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
