I thought about that too since she knew an attack was going to happen. When gun fire, the human stampede and glass breaking began, she panicked. Her protection detail rushed her out and underground before she could secure her possessions. She was assured by the riot organizers everything would be controlled and calculated. She wouldn't have to worry about guns. It simply never occurred to her that the guns used would be from her own House Chambers police. She believed and still believes she's untouchable. Obviously not this time. It never occurred to her that violence like that could or would happen in the Capital Building. After all, safety and security is the responsibility of the Speaker. It simply didn't go as plan and she, an 80 year old woman, panicked.
