Rodney Davis (R-IL) was at the plate Wednesday, during an early morning batting practice of the Republican Congressional baseball team, when he heard a loud noise that he did not immediately recognize as a gunshot.

The noise was followed by someone else on the field shouting, “Run, he’s got a gun!”
