Congressman Fred Upton is putting out well wishes to House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana and the others who were shot in Alexandria, Virginia this morning during a congressional baseball game practice. Upton was not there, and spokesman Tom Wilbur tells WSJM News none of their staff were on hand. Senator Rand Paul tells CNN he heard 50 to 60 shots, and saw bullets bouncing off the warning track. President Trump has issued a statement calling Scalise “a true friend and patriot,” adding he was “badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.” Texas Congressman Roger Williams says a member of his staff was also shot. Three Michigan congressmen – Mike Bishop, John Moolenaar, and Jack Bergman – were at the practice, but were not hit by the gunfire. The man who opened fire is in custody.
