Sen. Flake: "He had a lot of ammo. [50 shots] would be an understatement. Gunman was in the 3rd base dugout with a clear view of the field."
The are making a HUGE MISTAKE if they think our restraint is weakness.
CNN and MSNBC are responsible for this. Isn’t that how it’s done
I agree, I don’t think that sounds like a muslim terrorist - they would not be that particular.
Looking at the scene, I’m wondering if the shooter was taking cover behind those trees. And why a situation like that wasn’t planned for.
Holy crap.
This is unreal.
Prayers.
Looking at Flake’s jersey—did it say “REPUBLICANS” in big red letters?
The thugs on the left are desperate and starting Civil War II!
I’ve been saying this for a long time. They will not stop poking the bear until it bites back, and it’s going to bite back HARD.
P, do you mean Pubbies in general, or Scalise in particular?
The filthy Rats have a destiny with karma. They will reap the rotten fruits of their despicable ways.
Not to dismiss what the Sen. was saying, but two magazines would hold 60 cartridges. Not exactly a “heavy” load.
And Islamists likely wouldn’t start with their Dem best buds first.
They owe their lives to scalise being there.
Senator Jeff Flake being interviewed on CNN. Per his account:
Perp age 40-50 white male
At least 10 minutes of firing
Steve Scalise dragged himself into the ball field to get away, while shots going overhead from both sides.
Flake ran to Scalise to render aid.
Rand Paul was there. His account:
Rifle used. First shot nobody reacted, then 5-10 in a row.
He was at farthest spot. Stayed behind an oak tree. 50-60 shots from shooter. Capitol police returned fire with handguns. “Nobody would have survived without Capitol police...Would have been massacre without them.”
Both police, Scalise, two or three staffers were wounded. Capitol police officer (woman?) airlifted to hospital.
Time to go "Montana" on the MSM.
Flake: Description of shooter ... blue shirt and jeans.
:o/
Yep- it’s all good to them...
From disparate reports, maybe more than one, the person who asked "D or R" was reported to be wearing running suit. Shooter described as wearing jeans.
...Majority White...
They were in a rush. It's obviously a typo for "Majority Whip".
