House Sergeant at Arms 'Slips Up' & May Have Just Revealed Name of Ashli Babbitt's Shooter

by Kyle Becker about 21 hours ago

The Acting House Sergeant at Arms appeared before a House committee and appears to have named Ashli Babbitt's shooter.

Timothy Blodgett, in an exchange with Rep. Herrera-Buetler during a hearing on Jan. 6 that appeared on C-SPAN, seems to have casually dropped the name.

"The situation where you discussed, where Officer [Byrd] was at the door when Ms. Babbitt was shot, it was our Sergeant at Arms employee who rendered the aid."

It is interesting that Blodgett names an "Officer Byrd" in the context of Ashli Babbitt's shooting. An African-American Lieutenant Mike Byrd was reported by Roll Call as having once left his service weapon in a bathroom in 2019.
