"Nothing can stop us ... They can try and try and try but the storm is here and it goes down over DC in less than 24 hours,"

she wrote on Twitter.

Just hours later, Ashli ​​Babbitt was dead.

The 35-year-old woman, who according to Fox News previously served 14 years in the US Air Force, was shot by police in connection with the chaotic storming of the Capitol.

Died in hospital

The shooting occurred on Wednesday evening Swedish time after crowds of Trump supporters stormed the congress building.

Ashli ​​Babbitt, like thousands of others, had gone to Washington DC to protest what some Trump supporters call the "theft" of the president's second term - a charge that is completely unfounded.

During the storm, the 35-year-old got stuck on TV pictures where you can see how she and several other people try to force a door in the Capitol.

The door led to a corridor that had been barricaded and guarded by armed police.

A TV clip that SVT Nyheter has seen shows how she tries to get through a broken window in the door.

A policeman stands on the other side with a drawn weapon and when Ashli ​​Babbitt is climbing through, he fires the shot.

In the next clip, the police try to get the mob to back away while she remains on the floor.

The Trump supporter was seriously injured and taken to hospital where she died.

The shooting will now be investigated by the police, says Robert Contee, police chief in Washington DC

Dedicated Trump supporter

The 35-year-old ran a business in San Diego with his husband, who should not have been present at the demonstrations in the capital.

In an interview with the local TV station Kusi News, her husband describes her as a devoted Trump supporter and patriot.

In connection with the tumultuous storming of the Capitol, three more people died of what the police describe as "medical conditions".

52 people have been arrested after the storm.
