The woman who was fatally shot on Wednesday as Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the U.S Capitol building and violently clashed with police has been identified. 

The victim named, Ashli Babbitt, was a “strong supporter” of President Trump who had served in the United States Air Force. 

“The woman is Ashli Babbitt, a 14-year veteran, who served four tours with the US Air Force,” San Diego TV station KUSI reported, citing the woman’s husband.
