Lt. Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police Officer and the House Chamber Commander on the day of the January 6 riots, admitted that he did not know how much of a threat unarmed rioter Ashli Babbitt posed when he shot and killed her.
During his interview with NBC, Byrd had disclosed how much he didn’t know about the potential threat, despite a number of officers observing the developments in the corridor.

“And because the call of ‘shots fired’ had went out, you know, it was later I found out that the subject did not have a weapon. But there was no way to know that at that time.”
Judicial Watch discovered through a Freedom of Information lawsuit that the Capitol Police Sergeant positioned behind Byrd did not see any weapons in the hands of Ashli Babbit when she climbed through the broken glass.
