Breaking: assassination attempt early this morning

Wed June 14 2017


House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, a Republican congressman from Louisiana, and at least one other aide and two secret service agents were shot by a gunman with a “long rifle” who opened fire at a baseball practice in Virginia early Wednesday morning.

Scalise is a leading conservative on Capitol Hill and is considered one of the most popular and powerful lawmakers in Washington, D.C.

According to Sen. Mike Lee, a staffer used a belt as a tourniquet to stop Scalise’s bleeding, who was shot during infield baseball practice in the lead-up to the Congressional baseball game.

Eyewitnesses have speculated that Scalise was deliberately targeted.

Reports say a wounded Capitol policeman, there as security for the congressmen, returned fire and “took down” the gunman. Between 50 and 60 shots were reportedly exchanged.

Sen. Rand Paul told Fox News that if the Capitol police had not been present it “would have been a massacre.” Paul reported that the gunman was armed with an AR-15.

Rep. Ron Desantis and approximately a dozen other conservative lawmakers and staff were present at the shooting. Desantis told Fox News that an unidentified man approached him and colleagues as they were leaving and “walked up to us asking whether it was Republicans or Democrats out there.”

Desantis said he mentioned the incident to police, but couldn’t confirm if the encounter was with the gunman — but did mention that it “fits.”

Ten minutes after, the shooting reportedly started.
