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.
