On MSNBC at capitaol right after shooting Bernie Sanders said he heard 5 shots in rapid succession. One person next to him said he heard someone shout "second Constitition". Bernie asked him "Really?" So far I guess I'm the only one in the US that heard this exchange. The person yelling might have been saying "2nd and Constitution".
