Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was in the cage waiting for one more turn at the plate when shots rand down on the field, hitting Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) and at least four other people.

Paul told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that he probably heard 50 to 60 shots and saw Scalise "trying to drag himself through the dirt out into the outfield."

Paul described a frightening scene at the baseball field in Alexandria, Va., with shots landing near aides who had taken cover on the field. One staffer, he said, scrambled over a fence to get away from the fire. Paul, who couldn't see the gunman from his position, said he believed the shooter reloaded, and he described the gun as sounding like an AR-15.

Lucky for all he was such a bad shot.

Saw someplace else it was a “high-powered” M-4. Which we all know is much more deadly than the standard AR. I really don’t like the news clowns. At all.

This tragic event should be used to illustrate the lunacy of the Left and how they've been stoking a level of violence across the country. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened.

You're right.

100 shots and only 5 hits.
How many shots did it take to down the sniper?
