Uno de los activistas que irrumpió violentamente en el Capitolio en la tarde del miércoles registró en video el momento exacto en que un policía dispara contra Ashli Babbitt, la veterana de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos quien murió minutos después camino a un hospital de Washington DC. La mujer -quien sirvió 14 años como militar- viajó desde California a la capital norteamericana para tratar de impedir que el Senado certificara los votos del Colegio Electoral que proclamaron a Joe Biden como presidente.
Babbitt fue parte de un numeroso grupo de manifestantes que asaltaron en el Capitolio, cuando los legisladores llevaban a cabo la certificación del triunfo del demócrata en las presidenciales de noviembre. “Agentes uniformados de la policía del Capitolio los enfrentaron, y en un momento, uno de ellos hizo uso de su arma de servicio” y la alcanzó con un disparo en el cuello, declaró en conferencia de prensa el jefe de ese cuerpo, Robert Contee. Fue declarada muerta tras llevarla al hospital. El funcionario señaló que se abrió una investigación por este “hecho trágico”.
El video que muestra el momento exacto en que recibe el disparo, fue publicado en Twitter por el usuario Jayden X, quien se define como parte de un grupo insurgente.
Las imágenes muestran a partidarios de Trump rompiendo ventanas en puertas dobles que los oficiales habían bloqueado con muebles.
“Tiene un arma”, comienza a gritar uno de los manifestantes a sus compañeros; en ese momento Babbitt, que estaba intentando ingresar por una ventana rota, fue alcanzada por el disparo.
“Ella no escuchó las advertencias y mientras corríamos para agarrar a la gente y hacerla retroceder, le dispararon en el cuello y cayó sobre mí”, contó al canal WUSA 9 un partidario de Trump presente en la escena.
“Ella comenzó a decir ’está bien, tranquilo‘; luego comenzó a moverse un poco raro, le salía sangre de la boca, el cuello y la nariz y ya no sabía si estaba viva o muerta”, relató el hombre.

Otros dos testigos dijeron a CNN que Babbit recibió un disparo porque intentó trepar por la ventana rota hacia el área que los oficiales estaban bloqueando.
Quién era Ashli Babbitt
En sus 14 años como militar Babbitt, de 35 años, realizó cuatro despliegues como “oficial de seguridad de alto nivel” con la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos, según la cadena de televisión KUSI, que entrevistó a su esposo.

Babbitt, que no ha sido identificada oficialmente por la policía, vivía en la región de San Diego, en el sur de California, con su marido, que la describió como una “gran seguidora del presidente Trump”. El hombre no viajó a Washington para participar en la protesta.
“Realmente no sé por qué decidió” de irrumpir en el Capitolio, declaró su suegra, citada por una periodista de la cadena Fox 5.
En su cuenta de Twitter, Ashli Babbitt se presentaba como “ex combatiente” y “libertaria”. Recientemente había retuiteado numerosos mensajes de personas que viajaban a Washington para responder al llamado de Donald Trump.

El martes, Ashli Babbitt respondió a alguien que se quejaba de la anulación de su vuelo: “Nada nos detendrá (…) Ellos pueden intentar, intentar e intentar pero la tormenta está aquí y está descendiendo sobre [Washington] DC en menos de 24 horas (…) De la oscuridad hacia la luz”.
Otras tres personas, una mujer y dos hombres, murieron en los alrededores del Capitolio “por emergencias médicas” distintas, dijo la policía, sin precisar si se trataba de manifestantes.
La policía además realizó 52 arrestos, incluyendo 26 dentro del Capitolio.
