I'm going to go out on a limb here regarding the woman who was "shot".

I watched a couple of phone video clips, from different angles, over at Reddit (Yes, I showered afterward).

There is also a clip of medics rolling her out on a stretcher. She appears to have been shot in the neck, chest, or face.

Is it possible that while this woman was trying to climb through that broken window
a firearm or explosive on her person discharged, and the round struck her?

The armed police who were present were behind her, with several people between her and the police.

It will be interesting to find out what actually happened.


Here is the link to where I saw the clips. https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/krwd22/footage_of_woman_being_shot_inside_the_capitol/

On Edit: I'm wrong. Thanks for all the comments!

1. Probably not. Fact is, just about anyone climbing through a Capitol window

should expect they will be stopped, by bullets if necessary. If there are less lethal ways to stop them, I’m all for it. They never should have made it to the steps.

I have no idea what happened here, but I’m sure she’ll become a white wing martyr just like racist Randy Weaver and child rapist David Koresh.

[Progressive Jones]

3. The odd thing is, in one angle you can see in the direction she was facing going through that window

There doesn't appear to be anyone in front of her in that corridor.

I don't know. Just a thought I had.

[Hoyt]

6. I see a policeman holding a rifle and men in suits. Don't know what happened,

but there were a lot of people and police looked like they were backed up. Might have fired out of fear or to protect Senate or House chambers.

I don’t know either, but I think it’s likely police shot her and it was warranted.

2. Doesn't Really Matter

She had no business doing what she was.

[Progressive Jones]

4. Exactly. nt

[elleng]

5. Dunno, gotta wait for 'Medical Examiner's report.

[herding cats]

7. I read she was shot from inside the chambers.

In her front.

[Progressive Jones]

10. Based on what I could see, she was not shot from behind. Hard to tell if

there was someone in the corridor beyond the window she was climbing through.

[sarisataka]

15. It isn't that hard

in the clip taken from behind her you can see a uniformed security officer taking cover on the left side of the corridor just beyond the barricade. He is most likely the one who shot her although he is concealed enough that no weapon can be seen.

Later in the same clip several other people can be seen father down the corridor who may also be security.

[Progressive Jones]

18. Thanks. I'll look at it again. nt

[sarisataka]

19. Watch the video

at the 41-42 second mark you can see the security person take a firing stance and the shot is heard immediately

[Progressive Jones]

20. Upon further review, I'd say you are right. I can see a man in a suit down that corridor.

Didn't see him before.

8. I thought the police were on the other side of the doors where they were smashing the glass.

My first impression was that it looked like she, or someone next to her, was pushing a black duffle bag towards the window intending to drop it on the other side of the door.

What was in the bag, or if that was the actual intention, are unknown to me. If my job is to protect the members of Congress, I'm not letting someone that just smashed the glass out of a door toss something of unknown nature on my side of of that door.

I read she had served in the military in some security related assignment - if true, she should've had a much better awareness of how the person on the other side of the door might react to such a perceivable threat.

[herding cats]

14. This corresponds with what I read.

After the window was breached the perception was a bag was being pushed in before her and she was stopped.

[gldstwmn]

9. I think she got too close to

Someone with a security detail. We will find out in the coming days.

11. The Speaker's lobby door was barricaded, meaning people were in there,...

I think security would move to protect the Speaker, second in line to be president, during a violent insurrection with rioters trying to break into her office. That terrorist was a veteran of four tours so she had to know what happens when defending against insurrections or when staging them.

It's serious, not cosplay. There is danger. She participated in storming the nation's capitol and tried to break into a barricaded office.

She got shot. That's not an unexpected development in such a scenario. She made a bad decision she should've known better than and is to blame for what happened to her.

[StarfishSaver]

13. That wasn't the Speaker's office - it was the Speaker's Lobby, which is right off the House floor

But I think you're right - there was probably some serious security in there and they shot her when she came through that broken window.

[brush]

17. Yes. And wouldn't the Speaker's lobby be a way to her office suite?

[StarfishSaver]

21. The Speaker's Lobby is the name for the lobby right outside of the House Chamber on the second floor

The Speaker's office is upstairs.

[brush]

28. Ahhh. Thanks.

[sfstaxprep]

22. The Speaker's Office Is Very Close To The House Chambers

That was the hallway which provided access to her office.

Her office was breached eventually, there's pictures of a guy behind her desk.

23. The Speaker's office is upstairs.

12. My take

I think she was shot by plainclothes Capitol Police in the Speaker's Lobby. I got the impression the uniformed Capitol Police officers didn't have lethal force authorization, which explains why none of them shot at any of the rioters. They seemed almost helpless - some of them actually just backing up out of the way. The officers in that hallway seemed they were more focused on clearing the area than subduing the people.

But when she started through that window, she was immediately shot. I think there were higher level security in the Speaker's lobby - possibly from the Speaker's plainclothes detail - who were protecting the lobby because it leads directly to the House floor and who are authorized to shoot anyone posing a threat.

Of course, I don't know. But that's my guess.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

24. Agree. They didn't pile all that furniture in front of that door just for kicks.

They really didn’t want anyone in there.

[BGBD]

25. It absolutely came from inside the lobby.

You can see other windows get broke and when they look through they start yelling about guns and one of them tries to stop her from climbing in. She didn't listen.

[StarfishSaver]

27. It is disgusting to see some of the same people who tried to tell me last summer

that police were justified in shooting an unarmed black man seven times in the back and another unarmed black man who was running away from them because they were supposedly in fear of their lives now wring their hands and insist that a white woman who got shot while rioting in the U.S. Capitol was an innocent victim of unnecessary deadly force.

[Progressive Jones]

31. Thank You. She must never be seen as a victim. Period. nt

[herding cats]

26. Your take fits what I've gleaned from reporters today.

They were protecting the House floor. I suspect there were still Congresspeople there since they had a delay in evacuating the ones in the gallery.

What she did was foolish and dangerous. This wasn't a game like so many of them seemed to think.

[NNadir]

16. She was a violent thug, shut during the commission of a serious crime. May she rot in hell. n/t.

[TeamPooka]

29. I'm gonna sit here with NNadir on this one.

33. The video I saw was very clear

She was shot by a plains clothes officer defending a barricaded doorway. Clean shot in the chest. He did his job.
