“was taken to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.”
Has anyone reported on WHAT injuries and/or how they were sustained? Gunfight? Beat up during arrest?
In other news, Grassley investigating Comey firing.
That’s actually pretty big news.
Farmer Chuck is usually Trump’s favorite farm animal.
“The ATF is running a trace on two weapons, to include a rifle and a handgun,” it added.
Anybody wanna bet they were purchased legally?
That’s a sucker bet.
Twisted ankle was what i heard. Very painful.
We make a big deal of things like this. And we should. Even pundits say we are a violent society. But then i look at Iraq, Syria, or Afghanistan and todays happenings as sad as they are … probably would not make the news had it happened in those 3 countries.
For all the talk by gun folks at how great they are at stopping folks, it’s kind of astounding he didn’t kill anyone on the spot. I mean that’s a good thing, but it’s almost like he was either really a bad shot or wasn’t really trying to kill someone or something. Just seems strange.
Yes! I saw that too, earlier. I’m really surprised.
On the other hand, ghost, I will never forget how Grassley and Feinstein looked and acted after that private Cone of Silence briefing with Comey.
If Roger Williams sprained his ankle, they should do an MRI on his jaw. Considering where he keeps his foot, there could be subsidiary damage.
Ok, enough of the total wall-to-wall coverage on this.
Just helps repubs sneak health care destruction through and other nefarious things The few dozen articles done so far should be enough for today.
PoliticalWire managed to have one article about it and then carried on with other critical things.
Edited it add: Literally 21 different articles or blurbs (some are probably just pointing to others) about this on the TPM front page as I write this.
My daughter just texted to say she used to hang out with one of the people that were shot. She’s a bit freaked.
This happens every day in America. Really hits home when it hits home, doesn’t it.
This guy was shot multiple times.
She asked if I’d heard about San Francisco and asked what is going on here? This doesn’t happen in other countries.
Indeed.
I’m sorry about that.
It is so strange, but I’ve now met three people at different times in my life, who lost a brother or someone else close to them through murder.
I didn’t expect that to happen, really. Ever.
People in other countries don’t understand the gun thing AT ALL. I’m right there with them and I wish I was right there, physically.
She added that it’s just a matter of time before it happens to someone you know and isn’t that disgusting and horrifying.
Everyone is treating this as some terrible thing, and it is, but it happens to people every day, and all their families get is well, just another statistic. Sorry.
This can’t go on. Fuck the NRA and the republican party that enables them.
oops
Let’s be clear. The ONLY reason Scalise got shot was because there was no staffer for him to hide behind.
No, not the “2nd congressman injured”…the SHOOTER succumbed to his injuries…which were???
Can’t find anything on the shooter’s injuries other than they were fatal.
EXACTLY!
Not saying there’s anything nefarious going on, but by this time we have usually heard about a shootout with police, or he was injured during the arrest due to the fight he put up…something. Makes one wonder…
