SPECIAL ALERT -- House GOP Leader Shot
Rep. Steve Scalise |
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana was reportedly shot in the hip. Two police officers and a congressional aide were also hit. There are conflicting reports regarding the status and condition of the shooter, described as a white, heavyset male.
There is a disturbing report from Rep. Ron DeSantis that a man approached him prior to the shooting and asked if the people practicing were Republicans or Democrats. He answered, "Republicans." The attack began moments later.
Witnesses say at least 50 shots were fired and that the attack went on for several minutes. Sen. Rand Paul said that if Capitol Hill security had not been there, it could have been a massacre.
We will learn more as the day goes on.
Please pray for all those serving us in government and particularly for Rep. Scalise and his family, as well as the others injured this morning and their families.
