She was going to arrest Pelosi and Pence. She was breaking into the corridor with the Speaker's offices when she was shot, as I understand it. They are not marked so she planned and prepared for her crime. She knew where she was going. She ignored orders to stop. She was leading the Break & Enter. Eye witness on Global News said just that. "She didn't heed" "She went in first"

DailyMail.com can reveal she was
* previously prosecuted for reckless endangerment, malicious destruction of property in July 2016
* The 14-year Air Force veteran was also the subject of two restraining orders
* Babbitt, then named McEntree, was also prosecuted for tampering with a 2012 Ford on a country road in Prince Frederick, a Maryland town outside D.C.
* Court records reveal police found probable cause for the two criminal charges, but Calvert County court acquitted her of the reckless endangerment charge
* She was found not guilty of malicious destruction or tampering
* Babbitt was subject to a temporary peace order filed in February 2017
