Rep Ron Desantis said he was leaving just before shooting happened and as he was walking to his car, a man asked him if it was republicans or democrats practicing...about 3 minutes later, the shooting began



I bet he regrets jokingly telling him it was Democrats.

Thanks. Hope everyone recovers. There's not enough time in my day to follow politics so I've no idea who he was.

Shot in the hip with a rifle can be life threatening.

I'm referring both to most people survive a shot to the hip which is much better than being shot above the hip. My god, the entire OP is off its meds today.

Just crazy. We could have lost multiple members of Congress today if Scalise wasn't there.




Is this the first time since Gifford shooting that congress has been targeted? Unbelievable that it's possible they'd have no more security than a regular softball practice.

I would be a wreck if we had lost Rand Paul today. He is one of our most valuable members in the senate.

What the hell?!?!

Prayers to Scalise and others injured in this event.




Some people need to take a step back from the computer and get a little perspective on life and its worth.

Absolutely. I really hope this wasn't one of those refugee extremist pieces of shite. Some of them can look pretty light skinned

are you familiar with the femoral artery? Seriously

They had to use a belt as a tourniquet. That tells you he was bleeding profusely.

Doesn't Rand Paul have a security detail as a Senator?

Reports now that the shooter asked Rep. Jeff Duncan "are those Democrats or Republicans practicing" about 3 minutes before he opened fire.

What did Duncan reply?

I can't stand his politics but would be a wreck if we lost Paul or any other elected official or their staff due to an act of American born or foreign terrorism.
