Yep. The continued masking of his name indicates to me, they realize this was pretty much a homicide, as much as the NYTimes tries to make it out as soooo scaryyy.
Several members of the crowd have since been identified and arrested by the F.B.I. They include Christopher Ray Grider, a winery owner from central Texas who is accused of trying to kick in the doors and supplying a black helmet used to break windows, and Chad Barrett Jones of Coxs Creek, Ky., accused of breaking windows with a flagpole.
As they moved in, they got a clear view of the lieutenant on the other side, who was raising his .40-caliber Glock handgun.
“There’s a gun!” “He’s got a gun!” people shouted.
In the thick of the action, a man wielding the helmet broke out the windowpane in front of Ms. Babbitt. A few seconds later, someone tried to boost her through. She wore a Trump flag around her neck like a cape, and a backpack over it.
As Ms. Babbitt was hoisted up, the lieutenant fired a single shot. She plummeted backward, striking the hard floor. There was no evidence that she had been armed.
So, Christopher Ray Girder will get more time for supplying the helmet than the unnamed guy who used it to break the window and then changed clothes behind the police officers.
The guy who was changing clothes and packing them into a bag directly behind police officers can also be seen in earlier footage joining the crowd coming from behind police officers.
Mr. McGovern said any loss of life was tragic. But he praised the Capitol Police as heroes, noting that no members of Congress or their staff had been harmed. “I think he and others showed a great deal of restraint in this whole thing,” he said of the lieutenant.
The shooting put an end to the attempts to break through the doors. Officers tried to push back the rioters and give Ms. Babbitt medical aid.
A member of the tactical team tried to stop her bleeding, pressing down on her left shoulder as blood streamed from her mouth and nose.
Standing guard outside the doors were three Capitol Police officers. The crowd hurled insults at them and punched the glass just inches from their heads. To the right, at the top of a stairwell, stood a man in a suit with an earpiece, identified by a person familiar with congressional security as an unarmed member of the House sergeant-at-arms staff.
Near the front was Ms. Babbitt, 35, who had served 14 years in the Air Force and was an enthusiastic supporter of President Donald J. Trump. Her social media feed was filled with QAnon conspiracy theories.
One man in the crowd, David Charles Mish Jr. of Wisconsin, told an investigator later that Ms. Babbitt was telling the police officers, “Just open the door. They’re not gonna stop,” according to an affidavit.
Inside the doors was the lieutenant, who, according to his account, had trained to deal with an active shooter but never a scenario like this, in which the Capitol was being overrun by large numbers of people. Calls for backup and reports of officers engaged punctuated the radio traffic.
The officer, according to his account, could not see the three uniformed officers outside and did not know they were there — he only described seeing a hallway full of oncoming people. The three officers had no visible shields or riot gear — two of them were not even wearing hats.
According to the lieutenant’s account, he did not know who among the rioters, if anyone, was armed. Nor could he see how far down the hall the crowd extended.
The lieutenant was also unaware, those briefed on his account said, that a tactical team from the Capitol Police was climbing the stairwell behind Ms. Babbitt, intending to reinforce the area and clear out the rioters.
As the team arrived, one of the three officers standing guard gave the word: “They’re ready to roll.”
The officers moved away from their post, leaving the doors unguarded for a crucial 30 seconds.
Yes, that is his rank. Special Agent is his job. It takes between 7 and 15 years to make LT. At the time of the Scalise shooting he had been in 9 years. That was 3 years ago. He is almost certainly a lieutenant. A captain wouldn't have been positioned where he was when he shot her.
Dude, are you kidding me? "Dignitary Protection Division". Where else would he be during that scenario than right by the friggin chamber? And special agent isn't a rank!
There's no evidence anywhere that he is a lieutenant, and he is one of the most high profile Capitol Police staff, so really somewhere it should say "who was later promoted to lieutenant."
Also, Bailey's an average or somewhat taller than average dude, and the guy in the JaydenX video is a shrimp.
And from what I can tell on Linked In, a fair number of these folks idle their jets as Lt.'s for decades.
No. It's the exact opposite. Information on police and their identities is kept very confidential. We only know about him because of all the publicity surrounding him.
Do you stand up perfectly straight when you shoot a gun, or do you get into a stance?
Yes they do. Making captain is difficult. It's why being a cop sucks. You can do okay, but the odds of doing well are a long shot.
Well apparently the U.S. Capitol Police are pretty lah-di-dah about putting their bidness all over Linked IN, there's 30+ pages of folks who list themselves as police, captain, special agent, Lt., and so on and so forth.

Poor management
Special Agent (Former Employee) - Washington, DC - April 3, 2019
Rules only apply to certain employees. Multiple employees with criminal records. One special Agent left her handgun in a car and received minimal punishment. Other employees have received harsher punishment.
“Trying to vault.” My, that sounds menacing. Could have said, “tried to squeeze through” or something along those lines. Would me much more accurate. Don’t think you can “vault” through something you can barely squeeze through.
If you image search him by name, he looks to maybe be a short guy with a VERY sloping forehead, and that checks with the video by Jayden X. The shooter has a VERY back-sloping forehead.
Ichy finger for a Lt.
Yep. the article kind of skates around this, as well as his G-D NAME.
either a false flag, or protecting his Identity for fear of retribution. Either way, unacceptable
Yep. The continued masking of his name indicates to me, they realize this was pretty much a homicide, as much as the NYTimes tries to make it out as soooo scaryyy.
Too itchy.
It was murder.
So, Christopher Ray Girder will get more time for supplying the helmet than the unnamed guy who used it to break the window and then changed clothes behind the police officers.
The guy who was changing clothes and packing them into a bag directly behind police officers can also be seen in earlier footage joining the crowd coming from behind police officers.
Chuck Schumer killed Ashii. Compare video
The shooters name is DAVID BAILEY, Capitol Police. According to his own posts, he’s a strong BLM supporter.
... Can't find him listed anywhere as a "lieutenant." I think it's Robert Sebo.
We don't need them to help us ID anyone. It was most likely Special Agent David Bailey.
But the person in this article is listed as a "Lieutenant."
Yes, that is his rank. Special Agent is his job. It takes between 7 and 15 years to make LT. At the time of the Scalise shooting he had been in 9 years. That was 3 years ago. He is almost certainly a lieutenant. A captain wouldn't have been positioned where he was when he shot her.

"Dignitary Protection Division - Special Agent"
Unless the NYtimes is doing deliberate misinformation, which is possible, he's not the shooter.

Yeah, they are idiots. But it's also DC so no doubt they are playing a game to try and get promoted or gain more influence.

LINKED IN: Lieutenants with U.S. Capitol Police:
Willie Ragland https://www.linkedin.com/in/willie-ragland-35a4481b3/
There is also a female lieutenant on Linked iN, don't think it is her: https://www.linkedin.com/in/talaya-mayronne-6b57901b7/
There is also a "John Hersh" listed as a lieutenant: https://www.zoominfo.com/p/John-Hersch/-949576533
Barking up the wrong tree with linkedin. Cops are instructed to limit their online presence. Maybe 10% of them will be on there.
A lieutenant dumb enough to be on LinkedIn is dumb enough to shoot an unarmed woman.
He wasn't dumb. He was hateful. His name is all over in fringe forums too. It will come out that it was him eventually.
