A gunman opened fire on members of Congress practicing for a charity baseball game this morning in Alexandria, Virginia, injuring Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana, and others, ABC News reported on Wednesday.
At least four people have been shot, including Scalise. A senior member of GOP leadership told ABC News that Scalise "was hit in the hip and should be OK."
A law enforcement source said a suspect is in custody and that the suspect was wounded and taken to George Washington University Hospital. There was no information on a motive.
The shooting took place in Alexandria's Del Ray neighborhood, where a number of members of Congress were practicing for the annual charity congressional baseball game set for tomorrow. Only Republican members of Congress were at this practice; Democrats practiced separately earlier in the morning.
