'Multiple shootings' reported near congressional baseball game practice field: Report Live
More to follow.
Reports that Steve Scalise (R-LA) shot in hip. Security detail members returned fire and killed suspect. Staffer and security personnel also wounded. Breaking Live
Even though bearing arms is practically illegal there, you'd figure congresspeople would be exempt or permitted or whatever.
If this guy is still alive, I want some intense interrogation of him including standing on the air hose till they get statements from him to the effect he was motivated by the rhetoric of the dems/media.
This seems to me to be premeditated since he knew this was some kind of practice for an upcoming game between the parties.
I notice that each time these things happen these days it seems to be a gop rep taken out. That speaks volumes where the hate is coming from IMO. The left in this country is unhinged and needs be gotten under control even if that means shipping them off to some island paradise like Kiska.
They seem to be better organized around their gimme this gimme that and you pay organizations than are the conservatives around their causes.
Good morning everyone. Is it civil war II?
Hollywood too, unless we lump that cohort in with the MSM.
Senator Rand Paul was in the Batting Cage at the field.
He said there were at least 50 to 60 shots fired.
The shooter was firing from the 3rd Base line.
No
The entire violent, leftist mantra.
They'd shoot you if they could.
Ohio congressman who is a doctor helped with Scalise.
Hey now ... They're under a lot of stress. It's been two whole weeks since their Memorial Day break, and another two weeks until the July 4th break. They need a game to ease the tension /s
Not to start an argument, but how many people play ball armed or think, “We’re going to play a game, better hire security?” Of course they’re going to have to think that way from now on.
I can understand not trusting yourself enough to carry. I respect that. What I do NOT respect is pols putting not only their lives on the line, but their staffers, security, and bystanders, by refusing to plan adequately.
Varney just went for it. The play, severed head, jokes and tweets are ramping up the violence.
It’s called exercise BEFORE work, jackass.
You ever get your lazy ass up early and move before work?
No doubt this was a planned assassination attempt of a Republican Congressman.
THIS is the damage done when CNN employees hold up decapitated heads.
CNN Blitzer desperate to identify the rifle. Guess he’s hoping that someone will call it an assault rifle.
Already setting up the “blame the gun” narrative. Too bad for them we have a president who won’t play that BS game.
FoxNews talking about that ... phones not handy. Scalise security engaged in defense, otherwise it would have been a bloodbath. Cops took 3 minutes but after getting the call , and the I’ll repeat, phones not handy, so some delay between start and police awareness.
The hate that the alt left has shown since the election is beginning to boil over.
