Several outlets on Wednesday published video of the scene of a shooting that occurred during a Republican congressional baseball team practice in Alexandria, Virginia.
The gunman, who President Trump said died of his injuries, shot five people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA). At 2:29 p.m. ET, the Washington, D.C. hospital where Scalise was taken for his injuries, said he “was critically injured and remains in critical condition.”
Watch video of the incident below, credited to witness Noah Nathan, via the New York Post. (Warning: The video is graphic and may be disturbing to some.)

Very very scary tape.
As I said on other threads I hope all who were wounded recover fully.
Huh…so that’s what liberty sounds like.
Or, as the NRA likes to call it, ”Wholesome Family Entertainment!”
Ah, America at her finest, complete with the requisite “shoot him! shoot him!” at the end.
Loved how they bleeped out the word “fuck” in every instance but the FIRST.
I can almost guarantee that anyone who was there will never again be able to downplay the significance of gun violence in the US. Everyone there experienced a feeling of terror that few people can imagine or ever recover from; it will haunt their nightmares likely for the rest of their lives. Whether that changes any of their opinions about guns or the regulation of guns in this country has yet to be seen, though.
