Among the members of Congress who were at the congressional baseball practice where dozens of shots rang out, injuring House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and others, was Rep. Ron DeSantis. After the shooting, the Florida congressman described an encounter he had shortly before the shooting began:

Not clear if it was the shooter, but Ron DeSantis just said an odd guy asked him in the parking lot whether players were GOP or Democrats.
