Man Who Witnessed Ashli Babbitt Shooting Recounts the Tragedy

BY SAMUEL ALLEGRI | January 8, 2021 Updated: January 8, 2021

A man in a widely circulated video of the shooting of U.S. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol, 28-year-old Thomas Baranyi, gave a recount of what happened.

A reporter from CBS affiliate WKRG interviewed him after he stormed the Capitol with protestors and Ashli Babbitt, the woman who was shot and killed by police.

The reporter asked him how he got blood on his hand.

“We had stormed into the chambers inside and there was a young lady who rushed to the windows,” Baranyi answered. “A number of police and Secret Service were saying ‘get back, get down, get out of the way.’ She didn’t heed the call.”

He said that he tried to pull her back when she got fatally shot.

“And as we kind of raced up to grab people and pull them back, they shot her in the neck, and she fell back on me and started to say she was fine. It’s cool. And then she started moving weird and blood was coming out of her mouth and neck and nose,” Baranyi said.

NJ Advance Media confirmed Baranyi’s identity with three women who served with him in the Peace Corps in Albania as recently as last year. The outlet also confirmed with Baranyi’s father that the widely circulated video was of his son.

The reporter asked him if he needed first aid, to which he declined.

“I’m not injured. It could have been me, but she went in first. It was one of us.”

An emotional Baranyi asked the reporter to make this tragedy known.

“Just make sure people know, because this cannot stand anymore. This is wrong. They don’t represent anyone. Not Republican, Democrat, Independent, nobody. And now they’ll just, they’ll kill people,” Baranyi answered.

When asked who is he referring to, Baranyi answered: “Police, congressmen and women, they don’t care. I mean, they think we’re a joke. $2,000 checks was a joke to them. You know, there’s people filming us, laughing at us as we marched down the street at the Department of Justice. There’s a man in the window laughing at us, filming us. And here it was a joke to them until we got inside and then all of a sudden guns came out. But I mean, we’re at a point now, it can’t be allowed to stand. We have to do something, people have to do something, because this could be you or your kids.”

I saw a video of her being lowered to the ground. I did not see any blood. Hard to tell if there was, because she was somewhat obscured by other people around her. The thing is, if she bled out that fast there would have been a lot of blood, some getting to the floor.

She got shot in the neck, probably hit her spinal cord instantly paralyzing her body. She wasn't lowered to the ground, she dropped like a sack of potatoes from the window.

It was only once she was on the ground she was lifted to make her more comfortable apparently.

There was also a good amount of blood.

NOTE: It wouldn't surprise me one bit that those in the front acting violent and breaking the glass were actually the Antifa provocateurs we've been hearing about.

Good video, thanks. Odd that the officers suddenly left the doors they were guarding. Still not seeing any blood.
