MAGA rioter arrested after boasting to acquaintance of being just feet away from Ashli Babbitt before she was shot – By Ray Hartmann (Raw Story) / Sept 21 2021
Michael Eckerman of Wichita was arrested Monday by the FBI for shoving a police officer down a stairway after being among the first to breach the Capitol during the January 6 insurrection.
But the 37-year-old Eckerman’s claim to fame, such that it is, will likely be that he was in the room when an officer shot Ashli Babbitt as she tried to climb through a broken window to gain access to the House chambers.
The FBI report states that video evidence captures Eckerman “near the back entrance to the House Chamber, where Ashli Babbitt was shot by a law enforcement officer as she attempted to climb through one of the doors where glass was broken out to access the House Chamber. Just after the shooting, video captures Eckerman and his companions exiting the Capitol through the upper House doors at approximately 2:44.”
Afterward, Eckerman was not shy about what he saw in talking with an interviewing at a source identified as “FreedomNews.tv,” according to the report.
