Default Shooting in Alexandria, Va. This morning

Apparently, the shooter, armed with what some witnesses described as an AK-47 semi-auto rifle, arrived at a baseball park in Alexandria, Va, where it appears several members of the US Congress were practicing for a baseball event. One congressman Scalise was hit along with some congressional aides. It seems, also, that some of the US Capitol police that were assigned to protect Congressman Scalise responded immediately and engaged the shooter, hitting the shooter and neutralizing the threat. Reports are that there were a total of 5 people injured (including the shooter and two Capitol LEOs), but no official info. yet on the severity of any injuries or if anyone has died (although there are rumors that the shooter has died).

Va. Gov. McAuliffe has already given a news conference calling for more "Gun Control!" That said, it does seem that he was baited into answering by the MSM.

More to come Later. It appears President Trump will make an address on this at 11:30 EDT.

Update: President Trump just concluded his address where he indicated that the shooter has died from his injuries.
