Just saw a video of the woman being shot.

The seditionists were breaking through a locked door in the Capitol.

They broke the plexiglass out of it, paused when they saw someone had a gun, but then she tried to climb through anyway, and was shot down.

Seems reasonable to me.
Here is the video.

You can hear them shout “he’s got a gun!”

Afterward, in the top right, you can watch her try to climb through the broken door, when she is shot down.
You can also see furniture piled against the other side of the door.

It’s clear they were violently breaking in to an area where people were attempting to defend themselves and the capitol.
“Stop the Steal” seditionists appear to be sharing an edited version of this scene, from a different angle.

In the video they are sharing, you never hear the warnings about a gun, and you can’t see them violently breaking down the doors.

Misleading:

It appears that @michaelcoudrey got suspended for sharing that video; it’s gone now.

Good.
Why is his account back?

It showed that it was suspended just 10 minutes ago.
Thomas from New Jersey was standing beside the woman when she was shot. He didn’t appear to help her.

He’s quite cavalier about admitting to the crimes he just participated in, including throwing flash bangs and tear gas in the U.S. Capitol.
Here is video from another angle, where the person who shot her is visible.

He isn’t wearing a uniform, but appears to be dressed in a suit, similarly to guards in a couple of other photos from inside the Capitol today.

He appears to be dressed like these two men, defending a different barricaded door. https://twitter.com/clearing_fog/status/1346930990539702274
It looks to me like she was shot when she was trying to breach the Speaker’s Lobby, which stopped them for a bit, but the security team had to retreat, back to the House floor.

And that last photo is the same security team, barricaded in the House floor, last line of defense.
