Congressman Shot

[Snaggletiger]

From what I've seen so far, they have an annual baseball game between Repubs and Dems and some were getting in an early morning practice before work.  I'll be interested to know if this was a personal vendetta or something more along the lines of a wacko protestor going off the deep end.  I think more the latter, but we'll wait and see.  fox news


House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot in the hip and at least one other aide was also hit in the chest by a gunman with a rifle who opened fire at a baseball practice in Virginia Wednesday morning, Fox News confirmed.

Police tweeted they "believed" the gunman was in custody. Sen. Mike Lee told Fox News, however, the gunman was dead. He said a staffer used a belt as a tourniquet to stop Scalise's bleeding.

The shots were reported on East Monroe Street in Del Ray, Alexandria police said on Twitter at 7:30 a.m. The location was near a YMCA.

Rand Paul says he is sure the gunman was using an AR-15.
Rep. DeSantis says he was leaving a few minutes before the shooting and was asked by someone if those were Republicans or Democrats practicing.

Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks was on the scene, used his belt as a tourniquet on one of the injured.

Can't wait to see which one of the late night "comedians" blames Trump, guns, Jesus, and the Confederate Flag for this.

All will. Didn't you see? These were Republicans.

They should have voted to ban weapons. They got what was coming, I'm sure.

Just another terrorist...oh wait, he was white, likely Christian, and a Democrat, my mistake, he was just confused and needed mental help.

One of your guys. One of your candidate's supporters and campaign workers just did something that YOU and others accused Trump supporters of wanting to do - which is to try and kill someone from the opposition. There is no way for you to reason your way out of this one.

You lost all credibility liking prowlers post above.

Yeah I think something went bad that last brain surgery last week.  Maybe I can sue and use this as evidence.

Nah. Bernie supporters don't give. They just take.

And try to kill congressmen.

I just don't understand why they don't vent their frustration at who cheated them?  I guess Hillary doesn't play ball.

She would have them killed before they could get to the front of the gubmint arms subsidy line.

@Judgenap: Why do we have a Second Amendment? It's not to shoot deer. It's to shoot at the government when it becomes tyrannical!

Hmmm, I wonder if he has changed his mind after that tweet from less than a year ago.
