Gunmen asked congressmen 'are you Republicans or Democrats' before opening fire

The gunman who opened fire on a group of congressman playing baseball, reportedly asked the men if they were Republicans or Democrats before he opened fire. Reports said that shortly he opened fire with a semi-automatic weapon - spraying as many as 50 or 60 bullets - the suspected shooter, approached one of those present and asked about their political affiliation. “I’m told Rep Jeff Duncan plans to give a statement to police regarding a conversation he had with the shooter before leaving practice early,” CNN reporter Rebecca Berg wrote on Twitter.
