It would be nice to let us know something about the shooter.
Shot dead?
Minor wound?
Comment directed to news media not the staff.
No surprise here given the violence encouraged by Obeezy, The Hildabeast and other leftist asshats.
Scalise shot in the hip. Gunman asked if players were Repub or Dem.
Leftist dnc/communist tactics: “by any means necesssary.”
obozo: bring guns to a knife fight.
Good grief what kind of violent unhinged psycho savages talk like this?
Democrats.
We are dealing with a criminal gang of violent thugs here my friends.
First they stage blood soaked fantasies about killing the president. Now this.
Sixty shots and five hits gives you a good idea……
That manager was rough on Scalise for not getting a bunt down with a runner on second.
Not funny
WTF can’t we know anything about the shooter- description?????
Pretty bad security
Is the guy a Muslim
Or a crazy liberal
Local news said appeared to be a white man, but we all know white man is now the catch all for “uncolored” skin.
Looks like the left is starting to play hardball. And we were worried about radical Islam, silly us ….
Shooter is white male, heavyset, had asked if practice was Republicans or democrats. Apparently in custody.
The only reason there was not more carnage is Scalise has a security detail because he’s in leadership position.
Glad no innocent fatalities. Good point, Lead Salad. Glad this dipshit couldn’t hit his target with any accuracy.
Have a nice life… Sentence, that is!!!
I reckon we’re going to hear nothing but “Moar Gunn Kintroll Needed” from the MSM all day.
Yeah….
More gun control, but keep up the hateful rhetoric. I’m sick of these loons.
It’s starting to be an expected outcome when you dehumanize and scape-goat a group of people (republicans) and make them a target.
The future: We think we’ll be shooting muzzies when it’ll really be that pink-hated pimple faced punk from next door.
Time Warner Cable, HBO and MSM,
In addition to the gunman I hold you accountable. Your never ending rhetoric and excuse making for inciting violence has culminated in people being shot. Good job! Now go fuck yourselves
Thank you, Aurelius, for posting this ‘Breaking News’. Apparently, some here seem to think you had all the details and were keeping them to yourself?!?
People…IOTWReport is not a DC ‘on the spot’ news organization; click off and go to CNNANSCBSNPRWTTWWORNBC!
Antifa tool keeping it real for Capital Hill moderates progressives.
Thank God for the second amendment, or we would be Europe.
We won’t learn the identity of the shooter until they finish scrubbing his social media.
@wauco
Don’t forget Hillary, Schumer, Mark Warner, Timmy Kaine, Ron Wyden, Kamala Harris and the Big Mac daddy, Barack HUSSEIN.
SCALISE IS MY CONGRESSMAN!! Although I voted for Rob Maness in the primary I voted for Steve Scalise in the general election. Hell, I’ve even donated money to his campaign. He lives in my hometown.
I 100% ACCUSE the Democrat politicians and the leftwing Mainstream Media in tv, radio and newspapers for whipping up a climate of hate, lies and propaganda against normal Americans who support the Constitution. The responsibility lies at their feet. The blood is on their hands.
which leads one to wonder why they where practicing baseball instead of trying to fix governmental issues??
Congressman Mo Brooks did a long interview on CNN and he described the shooter as heavy set and white. During the interview, Alyson Camarata (CNN) interrupted him to tell him that their reporter “on the ground” said the shooting was intentional. Mo’s reaction was so good, “it sure was not accidental.”
Rep. DeSantis left the practice early and encountered the man who asked if it was the Dems or Republicans practicing.
A Republican was leaving the practice, some dude walks up to him, asks are they “Republicans or Democrats?”, Republican replied “they’re Republicans.”, coupkle minutes later the shooting began.
FUCK YOU DEMOCRATS, FUCK YOU LEFTWING, FUCK YOU PROGRESSIVES, FUCK YOU MAINSTREAM TV NEWS, FUCK YOU MAINSTREAM NEWSPAPERS, FUCK YOU MAINSTREAM RADIO NEWS.
FUCK THIS SHIT. I’ve been putting off getting my Concealed Carry License for months. No Longer. I’m taking the classes, applying for the permit ASAP and I’m going to start carrying 24/7. There is no fucking way I will allow some leftwing goon or a fundamentalist Mohammedan to threaten my family, my friends, myself and my property.
All members of Congress and the Supreme Court should have a six person security detail.
24/7
And I just assumed they did.
The liberals are crazy enough to shoot republicans so they can have a special election
So I’m sure the MSM will point out the rhetoric the left has been spewing along with their violent Trump imagery and played out assassinations has created this atmosphere of hatred and intolerance. LOL- yeah, it will be gun control and any other lefty talking point on taking away rights. Blaming the victims for their alleged hate talk. So predictable.
Now the leftist nutjobs are on social media and Democrat Underground saying they got what they deserve…….F these people.
I just sent a Get Well Card to Scalise. I hope they list the names of the other victims of this Leftist assassin so I can send them Get Well cards too.
I know several people here that keep talking about getting their carry permit and they keep putting it off. Go get your damn CCWs. This will get much worse.
@wildriver
It was early in the morning and they were practicing for a fundraiser game at nationals park tomorrow night. 10,000 tickets sold. I forgot which charity.
But there was plenty of time before congress convenes for the day.

You can bet the shooter is not an NRA member.
You can bet this scenario will play out again.
Lock and load, my friends.
I urged my congressman to beef up his security a month
Ago. The handwriting has been on the wall. Town halls prove it.
The left is insane and dangerous.
This is war, read this.
https://news.grabien.com/story-left-wing-twitter-celebrates-shooting-rep-scalise
Mansfield, once you get it, be sure to train as much as you can afford, and treat it as a serious responsibility. We are the good guys here, not looking for a fight. Hope you’re carrying legally soon.
Can’t wait for Rush today. He’s gonna be loaded for bear.
Dang, its fire season in AZ. Can’t practice shoot outside due to fire danger
Need to practice long range target acquisition.
Also need to get some ham in a little vacuum sealed pouch in case the shooter is a Heathen Muslim Bastard, so I can stuff ham in his bullet holes as he bleeds out
The Dumbs will blame Russian hacking……somehow…….
Brad aren’t you surprised that people in Congress have no 24 hour security?
I am. That is just amazing
Note to Dem psychos: If you are looking to gin up more special elections by killing GOP Congressmen, you might want to look at your special election record thus far. Very bad.
I wonder if the thought occurred to any of the people there that they wished they had their/a gun with them? If it wasn’t (by chance) for armed security that could’ve been a massacre.
Packing is no longer just an option, I know I know it’s D.C.
FAKE NEWS:
picture on Twitter posted by DEMOCRAT Congressman Ruben Kihuen, allegedly showing Democrat politicans and staffers praying for their Republican colleagues.
THIS IS FAKE NEWS! 1) Democrats are God-hating, Mohammedan-loving Atheists, 2) the pic is really about the Democrats plotting strategy about how they can take advantage of the shooting to make Republicans looks bad.
Since the Democrats always practice Projection (aka projecting their evil thoughts and deeds onto their enemies), this means the MSM, Democrat politicans and Hollywood Useful Idiots wills tart a drumbeat of “republicans & Trump caused this with their ClimateOfHate(tm) ”
The Left is despicable in their disgusting race to the bottom of the cesspool in politics & culture.
They left is made up of children there response proves my point, they are sick sick bastards
….and the push to get rid of guns begins in 3, 2…
“We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence.”
Va. Gov McAulliffe, 10:45 eastern, at a presser for the Alexandria shootings
Boehnerdict: amen brutha! I go to the range at least once a month and always throw about 200-500 rounds downrange via a mix of handgun, rifle, rimfire and shotgun.
Brad: Oy, I know, I know. I’m getting the CCL already.
T & Lazlo: agree 100% with both of you. That’s why I will be typing letters to Scalise and my two Senators Kennedy and Cassidy to NOT listen to the MSM drumbeat for more gun control and INSTEAD pass more pro-gun rights laws, including the Hearing Protection Act (my tinnitus is killing me) and passing a nationwide law making Shall Issue for CCL.
The party of Hate and their Hollyweird minions keep the hate flowing.
Prayers for Scalise, his family and the Capitol police.
Forgot to say the Dimowits will blame Trump first and the unwashed, uneducated, unindoctrinated masses in flyover country.
@flip–did he say 93 million a day??
Why is McAulliffe flapping his gums anyway, he looks unhinged to me.
Corky, yes, he said “93 million.” When a press person asked about it, he repeated, “93 million Americans a day.”
He then corrected himself to “93 Americans a day.”
Why even bring gun legislation up at this time? I know, he’s a fucking Democrat, that’s why.
@flip
Witnessed and recorded.
McAulliffe reeks of alcohol.
He has a massive hangover.
McAuliffe will NEVER live that gaffe down.
93 million. A day. Due to gun violence.
Fucking shittard he is.

thanks Groucho. I’ve been on this all morning like a tick on a coonhound’s neck.
He is also a piss poor shot.
Thank God
Meanwhile, a DC judge wants to release Lee Boyd Malvo…
Sure, good idea

Does the Dumocrats have a women’s softball team?
I want maxine and pillosi the drunk to team it and send this dufus back out again!!
Trump:
Assailant (democrat, leftist, Bernie supporter) is dead…
Yet another gift to the nation from Illinois.
Build a wall around that place.
I just had a thought: I hope Congressman Scalise and Congressman Williams’ staffer and the two Capitol Policemen attend tomorrow nights fundraiser baseball game. That would be a giant FUCK YOU to Democrat politicians, leftwing Mainstream TV Radio Newspapers and leftists everywhere.
Four .45s
Thank God he pointed this out. The anti gun Nazis are already in full spin mode.
“”nobody else had a weapon, so he was just killing everyone.””

If that’s him, creepy how he looks like John Goodman.
The shooter is dead now. But he’s from Illinois; so he’s still gonna vote.
A deranged Democrat Terrorist went over the edge today and shot up a Republican charity event.
This is ALL the fault of the hate filled MSM and Democrat party !
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE COWARDS !!!!
Grool – actually, he’s across between Harvey Keitel and John Goodman with all the assholishness of Bob DeNiro
The shot heard around AMERICA. The demonRats just declared WAR!
Seems to me we’d have a lot less gun violence on the streets if we could keep weapons out of the hands of democrats! Just saying!
Here’s their take:
1. They blame the gun.
2. The gun made him do it.
3. Un-taxed rich people made him do it.
4. Cathy Griffin had nothing to do with it.
5. The play depicting Trump stabbed had nothing to do with it.
6. Bernie supporters had nothing to do with it.
7. Hillary decrying “summer of resistance” had nothing to do with it.
8. Assault weapons are bad.
9. Marxism is good.
9. Communism is good.
10. Fascism, when the democrats do it, is morally justified.
11. Remember, he did it for the children.
_____________________________________________________
Here’s my take:
When the culture war truly goes full-retard WE won’t net a .04% shoot to hit ratio, and we won’t do it from only 20 yards away out in the open.
The media will be all over this proclaiming that it is conservatives causing all of this and that the 2nd Amendment is to blame, when in fact they should be admiring how well gun bearing, bible believing conservatives have been holding their mud.
Be prepared to defend yourselves AT ALL TIMES.
Side note: How could this guy get the gun he had when all of this stuff is illegal in Illinois, where gun control is so strong and necessary?
BECAUSE CRIMINALS DON’T FOLLOW GUN CONTROL LAWS.
By the way I’m not paying for you to play baseball
And don’t give me that charity crap
Sorry about Rep. Scalise, and all that, but how many regular humans were shot last night? How many were shot in Chicago, New York, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Columbus, DC, etc.? This dummy – this Demonrat – this fool of a gunman shot 50+ times and only hit three people, killing none?
“Lord, I thank thee for the incompetence of mine enemies.”
Now all the usual suspects will be caterwauling from the gallery about everything that has nothing to do with the point of it all.
There is a war going on. The izlamo-nazis have joined with the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks (Demonrats and Republicrats) to curtail the “Great Experiment” in self-rule. The prodding hatred of the media (against Pres. Trump and America) has percolated into the consciousnesses of the borderline retarded with this result. It will only worsen. More and more will adopt the message of hate, of nihilism, of Godlessness, of futility, of anger, and of revenge (for imaginary wrongs) until violence becomes commonplace.
izlamo delenda est …
Fox News just broke. Scalise in serious condition. Originally declared as stable. Not a good sign.
