(Alexandria, VA) — There are multiple reports that House Majority Whip Stephen Scalise has been shot in Alexandria, Virginia. Several others were also hit in the incident and a suspect is reportedly in custody. The Louisiana Republican was apparently at a baseball field where people were practicing for a congressional game scheduled for later this week. Scalise has been in Congress since 2008. He previously served in the Louisiana House and Senate. Meanwhile, Jordan Haverly from Congressman Shimkus’ office says the Congressman was not at the baseball field.
