Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein (seen in the above DOJ photo) today released the following statement
on the shooting at the congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, VA:
“This morning, Members of
Congress, Senators, congressional staffers, and Capitol Police officers were
targets of a senseless and cowardly attack during a practice for a bi-partisan,
charity baseball game. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. We
pray for their swift recovery. The Department of Justice will provide all
resources necessary for a thorough investigation."
“I commend the heroic
officers of the Capitol Police and the Alexandria Police Department. Their
willingness to risk their lives to keep us safe is humbling and
inspiring."
I hope the most likely suspects avoid the crime of turning all of this into (1) a gun control issue, and/or (2) a political issue. I notice that some of the likely suspects are already making unpleasant noises; see the posting at Frank Wilson's blog.
