A law enforcement officer was murdered. Beaten to death with a fire extinguisher.

That’s the predicate act for a felony murder charge against the insurrectionists.

The reason why I keep going back to the law enforcement officer being killed is that it meets all the qualifications in most jurisdictions for a felony murder charge to attach. He was purposefully assaulted and died of his injuries. It was an attack in conjunction with the forcible trespass on Capitol Hill with intent to do harm.

The other deaths don’t qualify as felony murder, including the shooting of the trespasser because law enforcement has the right to use deadly force under those circumstances where their lives are at risk - and being stormed by a mob of blood thirsty insurrectionists qualifies IMO.
