... #ad▼

Witness Thomas Barrane (sp?), who was one of the people who stormed the U.S. Capitol, witnessed a woman shot inside the U.S. Capitol building (interview by WUSA/published by WKRG).

The Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department confirmed Wednesday, January 6, 2021 that a woman was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol building during a siege on the Capitol. Her identity was not initially released.




Immediately after the shooting there was speculation that the woman was shot by a law enforcement officer. Also, NPR published that NPR’s Justice Correspondent Carrie Johnson was told by a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation that the alleged shooter of the woman was a senior United States Capitol Police officer, and that the woman who was killed was unarmed.

A witness, Thomas Barrane, also provided details of the fatal shooting in an interview with WUSA.
