WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15) issued the following statement after several people were shot Wednesday morning in Alexandria, VA, at a practice session for this week’s charity Congressional baseball game:
“I pray for the recovery of my GOP colleagues, staff, and U.S. Capitol Police officers who were shot at their baseball practice this morning. This charity game has always been a refuge from the tense battles inside the Capitol. To see players, staff, and officers who protect us under attack is sickening. Thank God for the brave Capitol Police officers who responded.”
Rep. Swalwell does play in the annual charity game for the Democratic side. The Democrats practice at a different facility.
According to CNN, Rep. Steve Scalise was shot Wednesday morning in Alexandria, Virginia, a House colleague told CNN, in what sources are calling an apparent “deliberate attack.” A congressional staffer was also shot.
A native of Jefferson Parish, Scalise is a graduate of Louisiana State University where he earned a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Political Science. Scalise is married to the former Jennifer Letulle and they have two children, Madison and Harrison.

Shut up, you Democrats promote this stuff with your #resistance bullcrap and ANTIFA, BLM, Hollywood, all have blood on their hands, I left the party last year and will never be back
Are you aware that ANTI-FA actually stands for Anti First Amendment?
Oooo you left a party? Like that means anything. Money is the only thing that runs this nation, not ideals or philosophy.
Did I say was part of any party now Tyrone, I mean Dmitri. I said I left the party dimwit
You’ll have to forgive him dimitry is a little slow. He’s still figuring things out.
Why is this nincompoop suddenly all over the news these days? Who in hell is he? You can’t turn on any news channel without him popping up on one of the programs or more. He represents Lafayette and should stick to working with HIS constituents.
Politics aside, there was a shooting. The above comments – no class.
The dems have blood on their hands. The constant rhetoric by the left is ruining the good American citizens opportunity for jobs, tax reform, security of our country, and the ability to move forward.These actions by the left are insighting riot type behavior.The mocking of our president is distracting the country from moving forward and addressing our 21 trillion dollar debt.Be part of America and stop this insane behavior.
Yea because people only had nice things to say about Obama. Stop with the left right republican demomcrat rhetoric. The only thing that matters in politics is money, that’s why we have Trump as president. The epitome of how if you’re rich in America you can do anything.
Dmitri, if you’re rich anywhere…….. you can do anything. Money talks! Always has!
Yea it’s sad that something as long as history itself, the haves and have not’s is still a narrative in our country. But if you bring up sharing wealth, feeding the poor and sick, ECT right wingers only see it as a handout instead of humility. The rat race conditioned them to only work and forget who they are.
Lol share the wealth? What a tard…
The have nots are only to blame their lazy ass selfves. Go to school, learn, respect, get a job ,and work hard. Not so some lazy pos can slide by, that’s the democrat left way. Socialism, always fails
That’s a joke. Hilary spent multiple times what Donald spent and she lost.The voters know a lying loser when they see one rich or poor.
Most Americans are MODERATES, including me. The far left and far right are EXTREMISTS, and equally out of touch. Moderates keep an even keel.
