House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Has Been Shot in Virginia – By Katie Reilly / June 14 2017
Police in Virginia were scrambling Wednesday morning to respond to reports of a shooting near a baseball field in Alexandria where Republican members of Congress were practicing for an annual charity game, and at least one lawmaker was shot, a colleague who witnessed it said.
Alexandria Police said the suspect was taken into custody and victims were being transported to area hospitals. Alabama Republican Rep.
