Ashli Babbitt Family Lawyer Preparing $10M Wrongful Death Suit Against Officer

A police officer "ambushed" Ashli Babbitt and fatally shot her during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to the Babbitt family attorney.

The lawyer, Terry Roberts, is preparing a wrongful death lawsuit seeking more than $10 million in damages against the Capitol Police and the officer who fired the shot that killed Babbitt,..

..Roberts said the police officer not only failed to warn Babbitt, he "ambushed" her from the side where she could not see he had taken up position in a hall doorway and had drawn his weapon.

"It's not debatable," Roberts said." There was no warning."

..Roberts insists the officer could have used less force, such as detaining Babbitt in handcuffs.

"I would call what he did an ambush," Roberts said. "I don’t think he’s a good officer. I think he’s reckless."
