   Judicial Watch has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the US   
   government on behalf of the family of Ashli Babbitt, the woman fatally   
   shot inside the Capitol on January 6, 2021.   
      
   The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Babbitt's estate and her husband, Aaron,   
   in the Southern District of California brings forth multiple counts   
   against the government including assault and batter; negligence; negligent   
   supervision, discipline, and retention of Lt. Byrd; negligent training;   
   wrongful death.   
      
   "Ashli loved her country and wanted to show her support for President   
   Trump’s America First policies and to see and hear the president speak   
   live while he remained in office. Ashli did not go to Washington as part   
   of a group or for any unlawful or nefarious purpose. She was there to   
   exercise what she believed were her God-given, American liberties and   
   freedoms," the lawsuit states.   
      
   The lawsuit later adds, "The shooting occurred at the east entrance to the   
   Speaker’s Lobby. After demonstrators filled the hallway outside the lobby,   
   two individuals in the crowded, tightly packed hallway struck and   
   dislodged the glass panels in the lobby doors and the right door   
   sidelight. Lt. Byrd, who is a USCP commander and was the incident   
   commander for the House on January 6, 2021, shot Ashli on sight as she   
   raised herself up into the opening of the right door sidelight. Lt. Byrd   
   later confessed that he shot Ashli before seeing her hands or assessing   
   her intentions or even identifying her as female. Ashli was unarmed. Her   
   hands were up in the air, empty, and in plain view of Lt. Byrd and other   
   officers in the lobby."   
      
   The lawsuit states that when Babbitt was shot, no members of Congress were   
   in the lobby. The suit adds that then-Lt. Michael Byrd was not in uniform   
   that day, and "did not identify himself as a police officer or otherwise   
   make his presence known to Ashli."   
      
   "Lt. Byrd did not give Ashli any warnings or commands before shooting her   
   dead."   
      
   The plaintiffs seek $30 million "plus costs and interest according to law,   
   and any and all further relief to which Plaintiffs may be justly   
   entitled."
