Democrats preparing for the Congressional Baseball Game on Wednesday prayed for their Republican colleagues after at least five people were shot at the GOP team’s practice.
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) told CNN that House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), two Capitol Police officers on protective detail and unidentified staffers were shot.
Brooks said Scalise was shot in the hip and was “dragging his body” to get away from the shooter.
“My heart is heavy right now,” Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Ca.) said on Twitter. “We just said a prayer for our colleagues and are holding to leave Dem baseball practice.”
Our Dem baseball team was practicing when we heard news. We're safe & with police, everyone praying for GOP colleagues, staff & Cap police
