WASHINGTON (AA) – High-ranking Republican congressman Steve Scalise is among at least five people who were wounded Wednesday at a Republican baseball team practice in northern Virginia.
Congressman Mo Brooks, who was at the scene, told CNN the shooter appeared to be a middle-aged, heavy-set white male who took cover behind a dugout when he opened fire.
Brooks said he heard at least 10-20 shots from the shooter, who used a rifle, before security was able to return fire.
The gunman has been taken down, Brooks said, but did not know if he had been killed.
