US Rep. shot
-
Just happened about an hour ago. House majority whip took a bullet to the hip.
Based on my reading of the event it sounds like it was targeted, either due to political leanings or the representative specifically.
-
Definitely targeted because they were republicans.
Well it'll be interesting to see how many leftist republicans call for gun control now.
-
GOA or NRA will have a field day with this.
Spin this into "this is why we need guns, protect us from the crazies"
Statements from the congressman. Push through concealed carry reciprocity
It's gonna be interesting.
On a more tragic note it sounds like a couple aides or something were hurt more seriously.
-
I'll avoid the news all together then today. Every time theres a shooting like this, I can't stand listening to the media idiots talk about guns like they understand them.

Here is an account by one Rep. Mike Bishop (R.-Mich.) who was at the field in Alexandria, Va.

GUNMAN AT GOP BALLGAME: 'ARE YOU DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS?'
A congressional staffer told WND that the gunman approached the game and asked Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla.: “Are you Democrats or Republicans?”When DeSantis replied, “Republicans,” the gunman walked away and then came back blasting.
DeSantis recounted an “odd” encounter he had as he was leaving the field just minutes before the shooting: “There was a guy that walked up to us that was asking whether it was Republicans or Democrats out there, and it was just a little odd,” DeSantis told Fox News.
