Virginia shooting: House majority whip shot at congressional baseball practice

Republican House majority whip is among at least four shot, and Alexandria police say the suspect is believed to be in custody

Congressman Mo Brooks is giving a remarkable eyewitness interview on CNN.

Of the killer he said:

I don’t know if he was killed but I tell you I don’t have any kind thoughts about the shooter so let’s leave it at that.

He appeared to be a white male. But bear in mind I saw him for just a second or two, a fraction of a second.

If I had to guess, middle aged … he wasn’t skinny, but he did not appear to be obese either.

Police are investigating a shooting at a congressional baseball practice session in Virginia.

Steve Scalise, the Republican House majority whip, and at least four others have been shot, Alabama congressman Mo Brooks told CNN.

The extent of Scalise’s injuries are unknown.

Other lawmakers at the gathering in Alexandria are now secure, Brooks told CNN.

Alexandria police said the suspect was believed to be in custody.
