Congressman Steve Scalise Among 5 Shot at Baseball Field (nytimes.com)

From a New York Times report: A lone gunman opened fire on Republican members of the congressional baseball team at a practice field in a Washington suburb Wednesday, using a rifle to shower the field with bullets that struck five people, including Steve Scalise, the majority whip of the House of Representatives. Two members of Mr. Scalise's protective police detail were wounded as they exchanged gunfire with the shooter in what other lawmakers described as a chaotic, terror-filled ten minutes that turned the baseball practice into an early-morning nightmare. Police said a total of five people were shot, two critically. Standing at second base, Mr. Scalise was struck, in the hip, according to witnesses, and collapsed as the shots rang out, one after another, from behind a chain-link fence near the third-base dugout. Witnesses said Mr. Scalise, of Louisiana, "army crawled" his way toward taller grass as the shooting continued. Alternative source: NBC News, CNN, BBC, NPR, WashingtonPost, and WSJ.

Update: 06/14 15:40 GMT: In remarks at the White House, President Trump said the Alexandria shooting suspect has died from injuries.

I tolerated blatant racism for the last 6 months. I tolerated removed healthcare for the poor I tolerated removing safety and business regulations for to keep them from polluting and making our country like a toxic wastehole like China I tolerated them raising taxes on the middle class and lowering it on the rich Now I tolerate a couple holes in the ones who I have tolerated allowing this to occur. So yes... I'm pretty damn tolerant. :)
