6:00 AM they started practice. This is in a neighborhood where some people were probably trying to sleep. It could well be someone got mad at being woke up way too early by inconsiderate baseball players and snapped.
Well, in that case, I doubt they would have cared about their party affiliation.
People are just freakin' nuts.
I can't *wait* to hear about this guy's long, sordid history. It will all come out and then we will stand around "naval gazing" admonishing ourselves that the system failed again and this person should NOT have had a gun.
Radio has audio quote from Congressman DeSantis where he said he was asked three minutes before shooting if the people practicing were Republicans or Democrats.
Washington (CNN)Rep. Steve Scalise was shot Wednesday morning in Alexandria, Virginia, a House colleague told CNN, in what sources are calling an apparent "deliberate attack."http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/14/politics/alexandria-virginia-shooting/index.html
not good- prayers for families not sure of injuries of the others guarding him
Congressman Mo Brooks is giving a remarkable eyewitness interview on CNN.
Of the shooter he said:
I don’t know if he was killed but I tell you I don’t have any kind thoughts about the shooter so let’s leave it at that.
He appeared to be a white male. But bear in mind I saw him for just a second or two, a fraction of a second.
If I had to guess, middle aged … he wasn’t skinny, but he did not appear to be obese either.
Describing the situation, Brooks said:
You’re pretty helpless. It’s not a good situation to be in. I don’t know what took our security detail as long as it took them to start exchanging fire … It seemed like a long time but it might have been seconds … They exhibited tremendous bravery.
I got a glimpse of the shooter which meant he also could see me if he looked in my direction. At that point I ran around home plate.
There were probably 10, 20, 30 shots fired while two or three of us were seeking cover.

Could be coincidence or possibly not.
CNN is carefully ignoring this.
