When members of Congress practice in the early mornings in an Alexandria, Va., public park for their Congressional Baseball Game, plainclothes United States Capitol Police are sitting there in a black S.U.V.
incredible, they make this way to easy, for unhinged people to create such deadly situations.
one congressman said one of the two gates were locked and if the shooter had been able to enter that gate, they were laying there like fish in a bowl so to speak.

i am amazed not more were injured or killed.

Re: House Majority Whip Shot

news had a piece on his condition, i thought yesterday he had been grazed....
but now. He is lucky to not have bled out on the field.
bowel, bladder and maybe colon have been punctured. the bone repair will wait until the bleeding is stopped and the counts come back up.
so it appears the projectile did the taxi around action and did major damage.
HORRIBLE.
Prayers to him and his family, and the other injured folks.

Hats off to the capitol police that finally stopped him.
One would think, with that many congressmen gathered one place outside of the capital, that maybe a few more security persons would have been around. these folks were sitting ducks
good thing the shooter was a horrible shot. the 5 min video was almost non stop reports from the rifle.
