No, we should all want the shooter to recover to face his/her/it's fate...

According to reports this was an attack targeted at Republicans.
Who is reporting this?

At this point, motive is unknown.


No doubt FBI is inside the shooter's residence, wherever that is, right now.

Default Flashback: College Professor State Republican Lawmakers Should Be Lined Up and Shot

Prof: House GOP ‘should be lined up and shot’

An Art Institute of Washington professor recently declared that House Republicans “should be lined up and shot” for their passage of an Obamacare-replacement bill.

“They should be lined up and shot,” Professor John Griffin posted to his Facebook, according to a screenshot of the post obtained by Campus Reform, even clarifying that he wasn’t being hyperbolic, saying “that’s not hyperbole; blood is on their hands.”


I wonder how many of these instances never see the light of day?

With today's events unfolding, it may be a good idea to look at really these direct threats. Obviously they are influencing people to commit these types of crimes.

Very true!

He has been in communications with those still there and when described, it was a match(clothing)

I hope these people who got shot come out okay.
And well wishes to their families.
And to all who were there who had to see this happen.

Sadly, it I another event of the forward movement to deteriorate our Country
I share with your hopes and wishes.

But this is far more likely to be the action of one deranged individual rather than part of any "forward movement to deteriorate our Country". When you hear hoof-beats, think horses, not zebras.

You might take a closer look at just who's trying to use this terrible event for their own partisan political purposes, and who's calling out for common decency and a dropping of such partisanship at such a time.

Terrible news, the use of violence to achieve political aims is NEVER justified regardless of who the intended targets are. As much as I think Rep. Scalise is a repulsive racist I still don't think he deserves to be shot. Also, thank God for the US Capitol Police!

I will be hoping for quick recoveries of all of today's victims!

As I said above, it was wrong of me to try and use this forum for breaking news. Speedy recovery for those who were shot, that is all.
