WASHINGTON _ House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot at congressional baseball practice in Del Ray, Virginia, and possibly four others were injured by an assailant, according to another lawmaker who was at the practice.
Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama said on CNN that he and other lawmakers tried to apply a tourniquet with his belt on one injured person to try and stop the bleeding. Scalise crawled to the outfield.
"There must have been 50, 100 shots fired," Brooks said.
Brooks said Capitol security forces were firing back with pistols at the shooter until the shooter was tackled to the ground.
