With the Capitol police being on the other side, well, they did what they had to do in that situation and shot her before she could put who-knows-what in the room with them. What if it were a bomb? They don't know and didn't have the time to investigate.

I believe I saw a post to a tweet that had NBC footage and images of this. The word was that she'd been shot in the neck after trying to push a colorful bag through the broken window of a door.
