Police came. My other son was in the battle cage and he is also very brave. You can see him there in that picture, the tall er of the two. We heard shots and it was clear pretty quickly there was a shooter with a high profile rifle. Steve scalise was hit in the hip he was hit, and he was down the whole time. Senator rand paul was in the batting cage when it started. I could see way in the distance, the gun sounded like an ar15, and we could not see
i kept yelling back are you friendly . We didnt know if it was another gunman or if it was return fire. And the Capital Policeman put his head around the dugout and i could tell it was them returning fire. It was a very chaotic situation, and it lasted for at least ten minutes and it just kept going on and on. Some estimated over 50 shots. I stood up up in the dugout trying to get a sense of where the gunman was. He walked around first base outside of the fence. And he got into the dugout. And we realized we were not safe there. Could you se
gun. could you see what kind of weapon it snfs. no, i couldn t. and someone saw him raise a rifle to begin with. when i saw him i didn t see the rifle. i think at that point he may have had a handgun. once someone yelled the shooter is down, i ran over to steve scalise to apply pressure to the wound. were you the first person to get to him? from your account, the gunfire, cross fire, went on for ten minutes, was he on the ground out towards the outfield for ten minutes pile the gunfire was going? yes, about ten yards into the outfield on the grass. and you can see the trail that he left, the trail of blood, from where he was hit.
