Four GOP members were fired upon Wednesday as they practiced for a charity game scheduled for today with Democrats. The police were quickly on the scene and the gunman was killed on the site. Thankfully there were no deaths and the four wounded are expected to recover.
Trump gave a speech and it was the first sensible speech I've heard from him while he's been in office. I feel sure someone told him just what to say and I'm glad he listened. It's hard enough for the families as it is. My sympathy is with the wounded and their families.

I heard about that. I hadn't heard Trump's speech though. I'm surprised a gunman could get that close to them. I'm glad the gunman was killed. I'm glad to hear they are all going to recover. I had heard that one Congressman was in serious condition.

I know that yesterday the team coaches expressed the desire to go on with the game. I also know that the one who was fatally wounded was having a time of it in the hospital. I haven't yet learned of his condition today. I am hoping it has improved.
I watched video that an onlooker was able to catch and it was quite scary! Another two onlookers who were coming out of the Y explained how scary it was for them.
As for Trump, I didn't hear what he had to say about it. I am glad that he kept that he kept to the script so to speak.

@RubyHawk Yes three surgeries and they (MSNBC) was talking about how it must be very serious as they wouldn't normally schedule these type surgeries so close together. I hope he will make it.

Whoever told him what to say or not say should continue doing that.

@nanette64 People being shot down in ballparks and malls doesn't do anything to make you feel safe.

I heard about that yesterday. It's sad. Even though I don't like Trump, I think he did good on his unity speech.
