Babbitt, a former Senior Airman, was killed by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd as she attempted to climb through a broken window inside the Capitol near the Speaker\u2019s Lobby.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter dated August 15, Under Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Lohmeier notified the Babbitt family of the change. \u201cAfter reviewing the circumstances of Ashli\u2019s death, and considering the information that has come forward since then, I am persuaded that the previous determination was incorrect,\u201d Lohmeier wrote. He also invited the family to meet with him at the Pentagon to offer his condolences in person.<\/p>\n<p>A Department of the Air Force spokesperson confirmed the letter\u2019s authenticity and the reversal of the decision. \u201cThe Air Force has offered Military Funeral Honors to Senior Airman Babbitt\u2019s family,\u201d the spokesperson stated. Full military honors typically include a ceremonial flag presentation, the playing of Taps, and a uniformed honor guard.<\/p>\n<p>Babbitt\u2019s death remains politically and publicly divisive. Lt. Byrd fired the fatal shot without issuing a verbal warning, even though officers in riot gear were positioned behind Babbitt and appeared prepared to control the situation. Byrd\u2019s history includes multiple disciplinary incidents but he was later promoted to captain under the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>Details regarding the date and location of Babbitt\u2019s funeral service have not yet been announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Force Grants Full Military Funeral Honors to Ashli Babbitt The U.S. Air Force has reversed its previous decision and will now grant full military funeral honors&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11681,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
