He’s still not fully recovered, he’s still using crutches so he can’t play in the game yet. But he’s alive after the shooting a year ago.
Via Free Beacon:
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R., La.) returned to baseball practice Wednesday as he continues to recover from gunshot wounds inflicted by a shooter who ambushed the Republican congressional baseball team’s practice last year.
Scalise returned to Congress in September after being shot in the hip in June 2017, and he credited the Capitol Police serving as his security detail with saving him and others who were defenseless on the scene. The congressman still uses crutches and will not be fit enough to play in the June 14 Congressional Baseball Game, an annual charity event, but he enjoyed practicing and said he is excited to watch.
“It was great to be on the ball field this morning,” Scalise tweeted. “Can’t wait for @TheHillBaseball on June 14th!”
