Wikipedia explanation: On June 14, 2017, at 7AM, Scalise and three other people were shot and wounded by a gunman who opened fire with a rifle during a baseball practice of the Republican team for the annual Congressional Baseball Game. Scalise, the only member of Congress to be hit, was shot in the hip, [but several other Members witnessed the shooting]. Scalise was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center in critical condition, where he underwent immediate surgery under "an imminent risk of death". On June 21, the hospital issued a press release stating: "Congressman Steve Scalise is now listed in fair condition and is beginning an extended period of healing and rehabilitation."]
