Shortly after the shooting Wednesday morning at a congressional baseball practice, Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) told NBC News that it appeared the "gunman was there to kill as many Republican members as possible." Walker, who was at the practice for the upcoming annual congressional baseball game in Alexandria, Virginia, confirmed he was "shaken but okay."

Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) recounted an "odd" encounter he had as he was leaving the field just minutes before the shooting: "There was a guy that walked up to us that was asking whether it was Republicans or Democrats out there, and it was just a little odd," DeSantis told Fox News.

At least he’s dead, right? (only have seen the Drudge headlines as of this moment).

I’m sure he thought The Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama is a saint too. Now, he knows otherwise.

[one of the folks here had a weapon to fire back and give us a moment to find cover. We were inside the backstop and if we didn’t have that cover by a brave person who stood up and took a shot themselves, we would not have gotten out of there]

Well, how bah dat.

No kidding. There have been several that don’t look at the context of the thread. I’ve had to deal with 3; one finally apologized, still blaming me, though. The other two remained stupid all the way.

When a comment doesn’t seem to make sense, look at the one it is referring to. We still have some amateurs posting.

People in rural communities are not all conservatives. There are lots of liberals who do not live in big cities. Vermont and Oregon come to mind (there are other examples).

Ditto for the big cities. Lots of conservatives living in the big cities like New York and Chicago. It's just that we are outnumbered in those big cities.

My Congress Critter received an email right after the shooting that said 1 down and 217 more to go.

I hope the secret service has been dispatched to the perps home to read them their miranda rights.

You speakth the unvarnished truth. The left’s collective feet should be held to the fire.

Charity events are generally reported via local news.

That's generally true but the Congressmen were at a baseball practice. The shooter was from Illinois. How long was he in the Alexandria/DC area before the shooting?

Unfortunately, the shooter died so there will be no interrogation.

One of the news outlets reported yesterday they did a story about these games weeks ago, even stating where the Secret Service sat in the SUV in the parking lot at the park...

So there ya go.

The saying, "loose lips sink ships" comes to mind. With domestic and foreign terrorist incited by a hard-left media, government figures, especially conservatives, will need to be more discreet with certain information.

Amazing, what an armed person can do to terrorists expecting unarmed targets.
