Is it going to take this to enforce stricter gun laws.

Fox said one of his aides was shot in the chest. Anyone hear anything about that person's condition?



Not sure yet. I know so far it wasn't Brett, his Chief of Staff (and LSU Alum).

Did the shooter suck at shooting or was he just trying to scare everyone and accidentally hit people with ricochets?



Maybe he couldn't get as close as he wanted to because of fire from the police?

The security detail kept him from closing in. If the security detail hadn't been there he would have a gotten a lot closer.


It's two guys probably with pistols going up against a dude with a semi automatic.


I haven't seen any reports on the logistics of the shooting. Shooting from a distance makes sense. Thanks.

Crazy, hope Scalise is doing alright. Was a rifle the only weapon used by the gunman?

The reports about a guy asking if it's Democrats or Republicans practicing is pretty surreal. If it was the shooter, that means he came to the ballpark with a rifle, fully intent on harming people, but didn't know the party of those involved? Was he just driving around trying to find Republicans and he just happened to find the whip? Did he know who it was and was just asking to confirm?

It's all pretty insane.

it was a gop team practice so makes sense.

supposedly the shooter asked which party was practicing right before the attack.

Dunno. I've seen people say it was Jeff Duncan and another said it was Jon Desantis.

I'm sure he cased it out well in advance and was asking to confirm. Doubt he he just happened upon it while being out looking for a group of them.
