I'd say the confusion of the noises and the constant battering of the door, was likely enough reason for the cop to think that perhaps shots were being fired, by his interpretation, (not mine or yours), but in the moment, he certainly felt threatened. I see the officers on the side behind looking at the stair way and hallway, and perhaps they were told to watch for any additional access via those stairs as they may have been the access to where the members of congress were retreating too.
There's lots of un-answered questions, and I do think the cop overacted in reviewing the film, but discharging his weapon was his only weapon to dissuade those who were trying to break through that doorway. You don't fire a weapon to wound, you fire to kill. That's what he did, and I do think it's a justified shooting from what else I've read. I see a person who looked like they were trying to get through the doorway- and there was bashing and loud banging going on by her fellow insurrectionists.
The fact that she's dead for being where she shouldn't have been is all that is needed to know.
Her family will have to accept that being a political pawn cost her- her life.
The fact that more ppl weren't shot is actually amazing to me. I'd say if there is another attempt by a radicalized group determined to break into the capital, the death count will likely be much higher.
Not glad Ashley was killed...sorry that she was so gullible as to go there and act as she did, and as the other 750 plus ppl who also have been charged so far.
Never should have gotten that far!!
