representative huffman, through for joining us. tell us where you are and what you know about the situation. >> well, i was across town at democratic baseball team practice when we got news of this. the two teams practice on different fields. we -- i think we both practice at 7:00 a.m. in the morning. we were about halfway through our practice when our coach, congressman mike doyle from pittsburgh, he got a message on his phone that was very disturbing to him. he was very animated and called everyone in immediately. and said there had been a shooting at the republican practice. so that was shocking. our hearts broke. we didn't have a lot of information at that time. but we immediately pulled our whole team into the dugout. now, we have a couple of capitol police that routinely attend our practice. i would imagine that that's also the case on the republican side. although with steve scalise, you have an additional security detail there. so my assumption is there was a little bit of additional security presence because of that. but o
