Congressman who witnessed Virginia shooting: Shooter ‘was going after elected officials’
Rep. Mo Brooks, a Republican from Alabama, tells CNN the shooting “sure as heck wasn’t an accident.”
“People know this is the Republican baseball team practicing,” he says. “You can tell. You can recognize many of us. You can see our security detail.”
“It is pretty well known at the neighborhood who those folks are on the baseball field and where we practice.”
“He knew who we were. I’m a former prosecutor and, yeah, he was going after elected officials, congressmen.”
