Seems that Majority Whip Steve Scalise has been shot in the hip and is going to be OK. One of his staffers shot in the chest. Security shot the shooter......all according to Sen Mike Lee

Michigan Representative OK As Shots Fired At Members Of Congress
“The only reason why any of us walked out of this thing, by the grace of God, one of the folks here had a weapon to fire back and give us a moment to find cover. We were inside the backstop and if we didn’t have that cover by a brave person who stood up and took a shot themselves, we would not have gotten out of there and every one of us would have been hit — every single one of us,” said Bishop. “He was coming around the fence line and he was looking for all of us who had found cover in different spots. But if we didn’t have return fire right there, he would have come up to each one of us and shot us point-blank.”
Bishop was uninjured. General Jack Bergman, who represents northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, and John Moolenaar, from Midland, were also at the practice; both uninjured. Democratic members of Congress were practicing at a different field, miles away.
“Two of our staff was hit, Steve Scalise was hit on second base, I watched him get hit and I couldn’t do anything to help him. We tried to get him off as fast as we could but this guy was relentless with his fire,” he said. “One of our staffers got hit in the chest and I pray for him, I just don’t know what the outcome is going to be. This is a tragic situation and frankly, it’s changed everything as I know it forever.”
A suspect, who received at least one gunshot, is believed to be in custody. Bishop said the man didn’t speak a word.

Oh, well that's fine. Please yell at dwags to update the thread title. It's important in this moment that we don't degrade the victims by suggesting they were practicing softball, which is a ludicrous thing to do.

Re: Shooting at congressional softball practice
I would have thought that Congressional reps would have more security than that. The only reason they had security was apparently because Sclaise was there (member of house leadership).
That's weird in this political climate, to me.

Rep. Jared Huffman said on Twitter that the Democratic baseball team was practicing when its members heard the news. “We’re safe & with police, everyone praying for GOP colleagues, staff & Cap police,” he wrote.

I'm so confused. Were they talking about the game, or were they talking about practice?

Re: Shooting at congressional softball practice
Fair warning if this gets sent to the bin. I will drop the ban hammer on anyone making shitty partisan comments. I don't want to see any "looks like a great American just exercising his 2nd amendment rights." I don't want to see any "typical lefty violence" talk. Fuck that. Fellow Americans have just been shot. Show some respect.

It's gonna get there.
Just an FYI for all yall. The general rule is that I leave it here while it's active news. So, in this case, I'll probably move it in a couple of hours. If it were on the level of Orlando last year, maybe a couple of days. It doesn't even really matter to me how "binny" it's getting. Once it's no longer active news, I move it. If you're posting something that isn't active news, (or if it's active political news, like say a testimony in congress) then it gets moved right away.

Re: Shooting at congressional softball practice
How the hell does one find and lock in to tweets from the lunatic fringe and post them pretending they are the norm?
If the shot counts are close to accurate, it would appear the shooter was using some kind of semi-automatic.
Real news with real injuries.
