A gunman has shot and wounded a United States, US, House of Representatives Majority Whip and Representative for Louisiana’s 1st, Steve Scalise, who was at the second base area, during a Republican baseball practice, in Alexandria, on Wednesday.
The gunman according to reports, also shot and wounded two Capitol Police Officers, and the Aide of Scalise, who was shot in the chest by the suspect, who was taken down by Scalise’s Security detail, and later arrested.
According to reports, Mo Brooks, the US Representative for Alabama’s 5th Congressional District, used his belt as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding for Scalise, who according to reports is in stable condition, with the Policemen who were shot by the gunman.
The shooting today, is the first shooting on a United States Representative, since Gabrielle Giffords.
