Two great Americans. I hope they are doing well.
The highest commendation is in order for these brave public servants.
They were just doing their jobs.
IF Scalise survives he will be lucky to walk again.
Griner shot in ankle. She may have problems in the future.
Bailey wounded but released.
Those two Capitol Police deserve some kind of reward. They literally saved Congress.
Plaudits for the two stopping the rampage. Since Griner is a lesbian she will no doubt get grief from the sisterhood and maybe the dark hued community.
I KNEW someone would come here and post that.
I’d put them in for a Bronze Star with V for Valor.
Thank goodness they were there or it would have been a massacre.
Actually the brave American is the concealed carry person who pulled his gun, exposed his position by shooting at shooter, and allowed several targeted victims to find better cover.
Yes they did. When I first heard of it yesterday I thought “this is right out of a Tom Clancy type novel”...instead of attacking the Capitol an enemy targets our elected leaders when they are defenseless. The two Capitol Police officers were the only thing that kept this from becoming a 9-11 scale event. Absolutely no expense should be spared in providing them and their families whatever is needed.
Thank goodness they were there! I want to know where they were in relation to the field when the shooting started. Had they killed the shooter before the police arrived? How long from first shot until police arrived? Who made the call to the police and when?
I am sure they will receive commendations for their actions. All those other critters should thank God for Steve Scalise being there.
Kudos to these brave police. If the killer was scouting the practices in advance, he knew children would be there.
In a way, I’m glad those kids know the good guys shot the murderer down like the rabid dog he was.
They were only there because Scalise has security as part of being in Congressional leadership. Rank and file members of Congress don’t have security. If all those other members of Congress were gathered somewhere without a leader present, they would be sitting ducks.
And on another issue the media seem not to be concerned about this action as an act of political violence. The fact that a demented follower of Bernie Sanders, who had diatribes against Trump online, seems to be of no importance to them.
Yes, rather than run and hide while waiting for back-up, they pressed forward and engaged the shooter at great risk to themselves.
True public servants and true heroes.
