“NBC News” gave the first exclusive interview with Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt at the January 6 Capitol riots.
"Once we barricaded the doors, we were essentially trapped where we were," Byrd, who is the leader of the House Chamber section of the department, said "There was no way to retreat. No other way to get out." Byrd also described a chaotic situation of shouts and injuries being reported over his police radio. "At that point is when I realized they’re here. The chants got louder. I couldn’t make out what they were saying, but it sounded like hundreds of people outside of that door," he said.More Related News
