The U.S. Capitol Police officer who killed an Air Force vet when a mob stormed the beacon of democracy on Wednesday “didn’t have a choice at that time,” a GOP lawmaker who witnessed the shooting said Thursday. “They were trying to come through the front door, which is where I was at in the chamber, and in the back they were trying to come through the speaker’s lobby, and that’s problematic when you’re trying to defend two fronts,” Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) said on
Good Morning America.
“The mob was going to come through the door, there was a lot of members and staff that were in danger at the time,” said Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), who witnessed the shooting.
