She was a deluded MAGA-head so anything is possible, but I hope there is an investigation.
Of course the capital police have authority to shoot. These people got well beyond where civilians are allowed to wander. Barricaded behind the door were a some senators, congress people and staffers. The rioters were warned to stand down and didn't. In the state people have been shot for a lot less.
