Congressman Steve Scalise shooting: What we know so far

BY RICHARD RAINEY [e-mail], NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune

Congressman Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson, was "stable" as he entered an operating room at a Washington hospital after being shot Wednesday morning (June 13). Three other people were also wounded after a gunman opened fire during a GOP baseball game practice. Police shot the gunman, who was taken into custody.

Scalise was in good spirits at MedStar Washington Hospital after the shooting, his office said. He was shot in the hip during the early morning practice as the Republican team prepared for the annual congressional baseball game.

"Prior to entering surgery, the Whip was in good spirits and spoke to his wife by phone," his office's statement said. "He is grateful for the brave actions of U.S. Capitol Police, first responders and colleagues. We ask that you keep the Whip and others harmed in this incident in your thoughts and prayers."

1. no matter what side or what party..this was an act of domestic terrorism...

..but a deranged person with a weapon and a grudge. I'm not a fan of Rep.Scalise but the thought of him trying to crawl over the ground, wounded, trying to hide brought me to tears.
