Four dead after Donald Trump’s supporters stormed US Capitol and clashed with police in a bid to stop Joe Biden’s victory being certified
Four people have been killed and dozens arrested after Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol and clashed with police in a bid to stop Joe Biden’s victory being certified.
A female Trump supporter, Ashli Babbit was the first person confirmed dead after she was shot in the chest. Babbit was part of the dozens of other protesters who breached security perimeters at the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon, Dec 6.
Babbit’s husband revealed her identity to San Diego news outlet KUSI. He said Babbit was a 14-year veteran who served four tours with Air Force as a “high level security official”, a fervent supporter of Trump and “a great patriot to all who knew her”.
It remains unclear who shot Babbit as the Metropolitan Police Department in DC conducts an investigation into her death. Witness accounts and videos from the incident suggested that she may have been shot by police while trying to climb through a broken window near congressional chambers.
DC Police said that three other people died on Capitol grounds on Wednesday, January 6 according to Politico. Those three deaths were related to unspecified “individual medical emergencies”. Several blocks away from the Capitol, a man was stabbed outside the Trump International Hotel, NBC reported.
Dozens of police were reportedly injured and law enforcement officials say at least two pipe bombs were found near the grounds. The chaos erupted after Trump encouraged his supporters to march to the Capitol after a rally earlier in the afternoon . It was only after violence broke out that he asked them to remain peaceful. He posted a video telling his “very special” supporters inside the Capitol that he loves them and understands their pain but urged them “to go home”

Omg! God please we need ur intervention
Sad!!!
the United States is becoming something else is a country that every other country look up to and they are doing this kind of art is unfavourable it’s been long the record is kind of nonchalant attitude
They get what they deserves… How can they try and distrupt government proceeding in a violent ways…
Why wasting life of others for your own sake? The war that you can win with violence except through legal then why instigate them against government.
That’s stupidity, someone is in the white house or enjoy himself and now ask you to go on rampage because of the love you have for him, that is stupidity.
When they have lost their lives now who is going to pay or responsible for their death? May Almighty God comfort their family.
He (Donald Trump) will continue enjoy his life but those Who lost their lives has ended. When there is life there is hope.
