US EditionMo Brooks Commends FBI for Reclassifying Congressional Baseball Shooting Incident
- On June 14, 2017, a shooter opened fire at a Congressional baseball practice in which five people were injured, including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and former Congressman Mo Brooks.
- The FBI originally labeled the shooting a suicide by cop, but later reclassified it as a politically motivated act of domestic terrorism after new evidence surfaced under Kash Patel's direction.
- Brooks helped attend to victims by applying a tourniquet to aide Zack Barth and assisting Scalise, while both Brooks and Scalise praised the FBI for correcting the initial classification eight years later.
- Brooks expressed that the original ruling was incorrect both when it was made and remains so today, highlighting that the FBI's detailed list revealed the shooter intended to target six conservative congressmen.
- The FBI's reclassification suggests a recognition of political violence risks, as Brooks expressed gratitude to Trump's FBI and the Republican House for correcting the error years after the shooting.
