The gunshots that ripped through a congressional Republican team practice early Wednesday on a Virginia baseball field not only shook the U.S. Capitol but also upended what many Americans consider a symbol of fair play and summer fun. Davis said the congressional game was a great demonstration that Democrats and Republicans could still get along. "I never thought I'd play a baseball game for charity, got to practice at 6:30 in the morning and have to dodge bullets." The gun violence early on Wednesday scarred what is for many almost sacred American ground - the baseball field. "I've always felt safe on a baseball field, and now I don't know if I'll ever feel safe on a baseball field again," Representative Chuck Fleischmann, also at the shooting scene, told CNN.
