Trump says Scalise condition ‘difficult’

One day after a gunman opened fire at a Republican congressional baseball practice, shooting House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and three others, lawmakers took the field Thursday evening at Nationals Park in Washington.

“Once we get through a few more days, we might be able to prognosticate a little better”, Sava said.

“A single rifle wound, that entered in the area of left hip, it traveled directly across toward the other hip in what we call a trans-pelvic gunshot wound”, Sava said.

“Earlier today, Congressman Steve Scalise underwent a second surgery related to his internal injuries and a broken bone in his leg”, MedStar said in a statement Thursday.

More on this as it develops. Clyburn charged that Trump “is allowed to hide behind political correctness to say all kinds of things about people, and I’m a little bit sick and exhausted of people saying anything they want to say about anyone they want to say it about”.

Scalise remains in critical condition as his teammates honor him at the game at Nationals Park.

“I want to take a moment to send our thoughts, love, and prayers to Congressman Steve Scalise and his entire family”.

The Louisiana Republican was shot in the hip Wednesday morning in the baseball practice shooting by an IL man with grudges against President Donald Trump and the GOP. “I’m prayerful he will pull through, and I hope he does”, he said.

The Congressional Baseball Game will go on as scheduled, despite the attack on congressmen Wednesday morning as they practiced.

Gunman James Hodgkinson, from Belleville, Illinois, a home inspector, died after officers in Mr Scalise’s security detail fired back at him.

For the game, which began in 1909, members of the Senate and House of Representatives donned uniforms representing teams from their constituencies, and many topped them with hats from Louisiana State University, Scalise’s alma mater, as a tribute.

But Flake said the final score wasn’t likely to matter this year. The announcer’s mention of Scalise, the House majority whip who was critically wounded in the attack Wednesday, brought the masses to their feet.

“The Congressional Baseball Game has never been about Republicans against Democrats”, said Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-C.A., in an opinion piece he wrote for CNN. The shooter was an IL man, James Hodgkinson, who had lashed out against President Donald Trump and Republicans over social media. She said “that camaraderie, I think, will be very positive as we go forward”.

Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond is the Democrats’ star pitcher, and a close friend of Scalise’s.

“I can show you messages and stuff that were much worse than this guy’s Facebook posts”, said Rep. Kenny Marchant, R-Texas, referring to the assailant in Wednesday’s shooting.

Ever since the 1999 Columbine High School shootings, Dine said, “Police departments across the country have changed the way they deal with active shooter situations”.

And even as the fans rose as one to cheer Scalise’s name and the Capitol Police, there was no mistaking the lusty cheers for their own side as the game progressed.

The wounded Capitol Police officers were identified as David Bailey, who was treated for a minor injury, and Crystal Griner, who was shot in the ankle.
