Michigan Rep. Mike Bishop tells WWJ Newsradio 950 he was attending the practice around 5:30 a.m., just outside of Alexandria, when shots rang out. He said he and his colleagues were “sitting ducks.”

“As we were standing here this morning, a gunman walked up to the fence line and just began to shoot. I was standing at home plate and he was in the third base line,” Bishop said. “He had a rifle that was clearly meant for the job of taking people out, multiple casualties, and he had several rounds and magazines that he kept unloading and reloading.”

More than 50 shots were fired, according to CBS News, with some accounts putting the number closer to 100. Four people were injured, including two Capitol Hill police officers and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise. The suspect was also shot.

“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.”

How is that low? They've been pushing this rhetoric since November. I'll leave it at that, until we find out exactly what we're dealing with.

Hmmm...this indicates the suspect is in custody, so maybe he was not killed as reported earlier. Sigh the "fog of war."

The sponsors like Delta Airlines pay for the Shakespeare in the Park program. That's why the big sponsors pulling out hurts.

Private sponsors and endowments. The put on two shows every year and get really good talent. It's one of the cooler things in the city.

My startup idea. Buy 5000 acres of land in Africa. Get the laws changed to allow murder. Sell spots to liberals to hunt conservatives and visa versa. Charge $100k for 5 days. Who wants to run marketing?

Yeah. He fired sixty plus rounds and supposedly multiple reloads. Thank God he wasn't well trained. It could have been a blood bath.

One description of the perp is a man in his 60's with white hair using an AK.

Has anyone seen Bernie Sanders?
