[The Hill] Capitol Police have formally exonerated an officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt at the Capitol on Jan. 6 following an internal investigation, NBC News reported.
NBC News obtained an internal memo from Capitol Police officially clearing the officer, who has not been named,
| ...that’d be Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, who has had other moments of carelessness during his career... | for fatally shooting Babbitt, capping off the investigation.
The commander of the Capitol Police’s Office of Personal Responsibility said in a memo following the officer’s exoneration, "no further action will be taken in this matter," according to NBC News.
Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
An 'Internal probe' holds no legal standing, or am I wrong ?
