FBI agents are investigating an early-morning shooting in Washington’s Virginia suburbs, where a shooter — now in custody — opened fire, wounding House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., and Congressional aides. Scalise sustained a non-life-threatening hip wound as he practiced for Thursday’s annual Congressional charity baseball game.
Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., described hearing shots, seeing someone with a semi-automatic rifle, then Scalise screaming near second base. As authorities probe the site, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the president and vice president’s “thoughts and prayers” were with the victims.
