Law enforcement officers inside the U.S. Capitol had no reason to believe Ashli Babbitt, the woman one of them shot dead, was armed, according to her family’s lawyer.

Babbitt was fatally shot inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 after breaching the building with hundreds of others, interrupting a joint session of Congress. She was struck by a bullet fired by a Capitol Police officer while climbing through a broken window to enter the Speaker’s Lobby, which is next to the House chamber.
