    I saw another report indicating that the gunman may have targetting GOP members. Gunman is apparently now dead.

    The chaos over this election must stop. The obsessive hate surrounding the election is so out of hand. The peaceful transition of power used to be one of the proudest, most admirable things about our society and government. Why are these obsessive lunatics taking this away?

    People are fed a non-stop diet of political hatred and a message that violence against political opponents is justified.

    I'm surprised this doesn't happen more.

    This is what happens when facts are distorted and Republucans are made out to be evil. I expect more of this as the left doubles down on dividing the country.

    Gunman is now reported not dead. Good ( I don't want death in the first place) but I want this guy questioned.

    Why all the fuss? He was just there for practice. (Too soon?).

    You can roll your eyes all you want. The shooter asked whether it was Democrats or Republicans practicing - and then a few minutes later the shooting started. Now why would someone target a group of republicans from various states? Hmmmm, maybe because of all the lies and hatred being spewed, about how Republicans are racist and every other vile thing. Some people believe what they see on the news.

    Unbelievable.

    Hopefully the gunman will go to jail for 250 years.

    'Tragic occurrence'? - no, this was deliberate. I think it's worse than tragic.

    What they needed was a good guy with a gun. How's it feel when the gun is in the blue hand now?

    But, yes it is a tragic occurrence. I hope the victims will be okay, and the shooter is prosecuted to the full extent of the law (if still alive).
