BBC are reporting she was shot trying to enter the Senate Chamber whilst it was still in session.
Watching the live coverage at the time I'd have said it was long after Senators had bugged out. So could be they realise this lady's death is a problem for them going forward, and are trying to spin it.
Does it matter when? Treat her like a regular trespasser at worst and restrain her or taze her. Why from a distance fire a bullet at her? There's a lot of times you can see how a cop felt in danger during a controversial killing...this i don't get.
But I doubt the selection criteria for the Capitol Police are as high as for any State Troopers. So likely the shooter was a person who should never have risen above Mall Security ?

Agree !
If things get to the stage where supposedly elected representatives have to be protected by gunfire, then its time to start over.
