describe the neighborhood. this is northern virginia, right outside of washington, d.c. as barbara star said, just barely close to the pentagon. describe the area where this shooting took place. a residential area? yeah, very much. you know, i have lived here for over a decade now. it is a great, quiet area. really if you dropped in here, you would never know you are only seven or eight miles as the crow miles to the capitol. i was here last night with my son. it s a great place for folks often who come to washington work on capitol hill and move right here to start a family. to have something like this happen here, something that was clearly planned out, clearly thought in advance is really, really shocking. yeah. this was not like a rough neighborhood or anything like that. very, very quiet residential,
or so for more details. you go to this dog park, i take it, fairly often, right? yeah. i live right in the area. and the republicans they practice here every morning. so i guess if you live in the area, it is a regular thing, you know they re here practicing for the game. i don t know how obvious that is to people who don t live in the area. but usually it s not people coming around to like watch. it s not like a big spectator sport. they usually get here after 6:00 and they re here until 7:30 and then i guess they go to work. it is a nice community, nice family community. it is not you know, there is mom and pop shops everywhere. this isn t a franchised area and it is really close to d.c. so whoever game wasn t i don t think testifies from the area. we know the shooter was shot himself by capitol hill police who were on the scene and is now in a d.c. hospital. thanks so much, noah, for that
you get someone of this caliber this morning and the intent is that vicious, it s hard to be prepared to handle that kind of contingency. it certainly is, especially when you re out there just practicing, playing baseball and all of a sudden a horrendous thing like this occurs. dave brat of virginia. i ll speak to congressman chuck fleischmann of tennessee, he s a republican and he was there on the scene and joining us on the phone. congressman, first of all, tell us how you re doing? wolf, i m shook up. thank god. i m a little bit bloodied from jumping in the dugout when we were under fire, but there were several other people shot and heart a lot worse. just a horrible, horrible morning for us all and a sad day for america. are you still there at the baseball field? no, sir. they kept us in an area that was
from this sort of injury. he s undergoing surgery at the med star hospital center which, by the way, is not that far away from capitol hill right now. once again, congressman, steve scalise, the majority whip and the number three republican and the number three leader in the house of representatives was shot in the hip earlier this morning, 6:30, 7:00 a.m. when he was doing baseball practice with the democratic members tomorrow. we don t know if that game will go forward in washington nationals park. sanjay, stand by. representative dave brat of virginia is joining us right now. you were supposed to join us to talk about a whole host of other issues to talk about those other issues, while i have you, i want to get your reaction. you know this area. you know alexandria and the republican members of the baseball team, the roster of about 34 members. give us your reaction? we all know the risks, and i
shooter, is that right? i didn t. i saw where the shooter was shooting from. so it looked like they were shooting from a little snack shop or dpug out in that area. i saw the officers of security were shooting back at. the police were able to get there and then more people were shooting, but it seemed to go on more five or ten minutes. they were laying on the ground pretty helpless. we saw people running, trying to get away as soon as they were able to see where the shooter was at. i was sprawled out on the ground trying to record video that hopefully will be worthwhile. after it was done, all the shots stopped and they were able to get up and realize what just happened. and you have given your video over to police. i assume they are collecting evidence from as many people as they can at this stage and we will be hearing from police at this stage within about an hour
