rifle behind his house. we have obtained video taken by a man walking his dog at the scene of the shooting. here's some of that video. >> hey s that guy okay out there? has he been shot? is he okay? anybody talking to him? >> this entire video goes on for nearly six minutes. >> investigators say today' violence started when the gunman approached eugene simpson stadium park around k a.m. during the practice and opened fire. we have live team coverage with tim furlong in alex an drandria. let's begin with tim furlong near the scene of the baseball field. you heard from witnesses who watched this all unfold this

morning. >> reporter: yeah, lots of them. this neighborhood here is still jammed up with police, but neighbors say after what happened at the baseball field this morning, they are happy to see so much law enforcement. the man walked up to a congressman, asked if the team was republicans or democrats and a a few moments after learning they were republicans, he started shooting. you usually hear things like this happen very quickly, but witnesses say this today seemed to last an eternity. >> heard people running. that's not fireworks. >> we have one in custody. one shooter. >> reporter: joe barton is the manager of the republican team. he and his sons took cover when the shots were fired. barton got a look at the gunman. >> he had a rifle and i think he had an automatic pistol. there were dozens, if not hundreds of shots fired. >> even as james hodgkinson was shooting -- >> there's a victim down in the

baseball field. >> reporter: senator flake made it to steve scalise who was bleeding heavily crawling toward the outfield. >> he was coherent and was asking for water. i don't e know if any specific members were targeted. it's hard to imagine he didn't know what he was doing. >> reporter: a police team assigned to scalise was there at the field. this all could have been a lot worse. >> the security detail saved a lot of lives because they attacked the shooter. the hero are the capitol hill police. >> reporter: shots also hit the ymca nearby. the bullets ended up on the bottom of the indoor pool. one woman just told me a few minutes ago she was in bed and heard she thought it was an early morning fireworks show. she said it had to be at least 100 shots. tim furlong, nbc 10 news. >> two congressmen from our area are on that republican team. they were not at the practice at the time. our team coverage continues with

lauren mayk live on capitol hill. >> you were already in washington when the bullets started flying. one of the very first reporters at that scene. >> reporter: yeah, and then i headed here to capitol hill and i can tell you that members here are shaken. one of their own was hit. this brings up memories of when gabrielle giffords, the congresswoman from arizona, when she was shot. i spoke with one congressman from our area in pennsylvania who was supposed to be there. he missed his ride ask when he couldn't get another one, he went back to his office and started watching tv. he saw the report and look ed u and realized that this was the baseball field where he usually practices. about three times a week. but not today. >> some minutes i'm able to deal with it. others, i'm not. >> congressman costello trying to come to terms with what happened this morning at a baseball practice with colleagues. and how close he came to being

there. >> if i wasn't two minutes late for my ride, i would have been right in the thick of all that. >> reporter: he missed the practice where his colleague congressman steve scalise was shot. costello usually plays shortstop. >> steve plays second. and the gunman, the shooter was on the third base side firing across third base, shortstop and second base. so i would have been right in the line of fire. >> reporter: members of congress with grim faces briefed on the shooting and talking about their own vulnerability. the public neness of their publ jobs. he's reassuring his wife and mom and coming to grips with what happened and what didn't. >> that's the scary thing when you realize because i'm a member of congress i could have bye-bye on a baseball field where somebody would have just did what they did. >> not an easy day here. >> not an easy day for me. no, it's not.

>> reporter: it was an emotional day for him today, but he says he feels better knowing that those who were injured today are doing okay and that that makes him feel okay about playing in that baseball game tomorrow. back to you. >> let's create a footprint. so much has happened in 24 hours. yesterday you were at the capital, a different reason. attorney general jeff sessions testimony before congress. this morning, obviously, a very different mood out there. >> reporter: yeah, kooej, it is. there was a a sadness today. there's no question about that. those long faces that you saw. there was a sadness and seriousness and somewhat of an unusualness today. at one point i was walking to do an interview and i saw a congressman in a baseball uniform with baseball hat on with his young son with him. also with a baseball hat on. and that is just not something you're usually seeing.

usually they are in a suit. but they had not gotten a chance to change after everything happened dealing with the aftermath. >> lauren mayk live for us on capitol hill. thank you. >> we'll check back in with you later in this newscast. we'll see you then. president trump went on television a few hours after the violence asking people to eunit. he also congratulated two capitol hill police officers for saving lives. >> our brave capitol hill police perform a challenging job with ib credible skill and their sacrifice makes democracy possible. we can all agree that we are blessed to be americans, that our children deserve to grow up in a nation of safety and peace and that we are strongest when we are unified. >> the president cancelled his trip to the labor department after the shooting. >> the gunman'sive put bernie

sanders in the spotlight. he once volunteered to help the presidential campaign. today sanders spoke on the senate flor in an emotional appeal for peace. >> i am sickened by this despicable act, and let me be as clear as i can be. violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society, and i condemn this action in the strongest possible terms. >> tomorrow's congressional baseball game will be played as planned. >> our coverage of this major event is just get iting started. in less than men tnts, how people working out at a ymca were nearly caught in the cross fire. then our investigators are digging into the shooter's past and history with police. and why congressman bob brady says lawmakers may be sending the wrong message to voters about a divided congress.

>> we are on verdict watch at the bill cosby sexual assault trial as the jury comes back late this afternoon with a big request for the judge. nbc 10 has your all access pass for any new developments both inside and outside the courtroom. i'm jim rosenfield live again, deliberations into their third day now as jurors wait charges that could send bill cosby to jail possibly for the rest of his life. the jury came back to the judge with a question just within the last few hours. they wanted to hear all of andrea constand's testimony, that's about 300 pages worth of testimony read become to them. but the judge limited that request. so far there have been five jury questions during the deliberations over the past couple days and deanna durante was in the courtroom for this latest request by the jury. what are you learning about how

that request played out? >> reporter: andrea constand was on the stand, the witness stand for a period of over two days, more than eight hours she testified. the judge said as you said that that testimony typed out was 300 pages or longer. so he and the lawyers limited what the jury would get in that request. they put down that they would hear just the direct testimony from andrea constand, what the prosecutors asked her about that night and she recited bill cosby's own words, what he has said in his 2005 deposition, put them down, they will help you relax, referring to the three blue pills she says she voluntarily took when bill cosby handed them to her some time on a winter evening in 2004. some time between january and mid-march, she told the court. last week when she testified. one thing in this case, the testimony between bill cosby that we heard read aloud, sometimes at the request of the jury, and andrea constand's own

testimony that she delivered in pesh very similar here. they both talk about that evening. they talk about how she was struggling with a personal decision. she was suffering from some tension and bill cosby offered her those pills and gave her those pills and she took them voluntarily. what they both disagree on is whether or not that activity, that sexual assault was consensual and that's what the jury appears to be struggling with tonight. that's the latest reporting live outside the courthouse, deanna durante, nbc 10 news. >> revisiting those two versions f you will. we'll hear more in the next couple hours. mike the is joining us live from our breaking news center. thank you for being here this afternoon. let's talk about the jury's questions to have andrea constand's testimony read back to them. what do make of that request? >> e we talked about this. when you have two or tla three statements from the main witness

in the case and credibility is such a big part of the case, they are looking at every single statement she made to look for consistencies or inconsistencies. if there's inconsistencies, they are going to determine whether it's a a matter of importance or unimportant detail. this is something that they need to do, they are doik meticulously. they are doing it methodically and i think it's good that they are asking these kind of questions. it means they are honing in now, they are honing in on her testimony and the consistency of her testimony in the case. >> we don't know at this point how this ties in with the group as a whole. are some of them still deliberating and questioning, have some made up their minds, no way to know. but how does today's question tie in with the question asked yesterday about cosby's deposition. does that give us any clue? >> the biggest clue that it g e gives us yesterday, if if you remember, they want. ed the detective's testimony

read back, who was the first person to speak with andrea constand in canada. they are taking that first statement that she gave and now today they want her trial testimony. that tells me they are locking maybe line by line and item by item at her testimony, just what we said, to see whether it is totally consistent or whether or not it's inconsistent if it's something major or something minor. so i think that they are taking that, they are tieing it in with mr. cosby's deposition testimony and trying to sift through all this evidence to see in the end who they think has been credible. >> and so the process continues as they continue to deliberate now after getting that testimony read back to them. judge, thank you for joining us once again here on nbc 10. we appreciate it. >> thank you, jim. >> one of cosby's television daughters spoke exclusively with
