9A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2017 Gunman wounds GOP congressman, then killed by police It’s estimated that more than 50 shots were fired at scene By ERICA WERNER and CHAD DAY Associated Press ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A rifle-wielding attacker opened fire on Republican lawmak- ers at a congressional base- ball practice today, wound- ing House GOP Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana and sev- eral others as congressmen and aides dove for cover. The assailant, prepared with “a lot of ammo,” fought a gun battle with police before he, too, was shot and later died. Scalise dragged himself off the infield leaving a trail of blood as colleagues rushed to his assistance. A government official iden- tified the shooter as James. T. Hodgkinson of Illinois. The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation by name and spoke on condition of anonymity. Shortly after the shooting, Bernie Sanders, the former can- didate for the Democratic pres- idential nomination, said on the Senate floor that the shooter apparently was a volunteer for his campaign last year. Sand- ers said he denounced the vio- lence “in the strongest possible terms.” Capitol Police officers who were in Scalise’s security detail wounded the shooter, who was taken into custody. The attacker later died of his injuries, Pres- ident Donald Trump told the nation from the White House. “Everyone on that field is a public servant,” Trump said. “Their sacrifice makes democ- racy possible.” Scalise, 51, the No. 3 House Republican leader first elected to the House in 2008, was in stable condition and undergo- ing surgery. The popular and gregarious lawmaker is known for his love of baseball and 70 Help Wanted PIZZA HUT IS NOW HIRING: DELIVERY DRIVERS - can earn $16 or more per hour with tips.

Roger Williams, who coaches the GOP team, said that one of his aides, Zack Barth, was shot, but “is doing well and is expected to make a full recovery.” Two Capi- tol Police officers were also injured but were expected to recover, along with a former congressional aide who was hospitalized. Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina said he had just left the practice and encountered the apparent gunman in the park- ing lot before the shooting. The man calmly asked which par- ty’s lawmakers were practic- ing and Duncan told him they were the Republicans. The man thanked him. The gunman had a rifle and “a lot of ammo,” said Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, who was at the practice. The shocking event left the Capitol horrified and stunned. The House canceled proceed- ings for the day. Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Dem- ocratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California both spoke on the floor issuing calls for unity. “An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us,” Ryan said.

The team was taking batting practice when gunshots rang out and chaos erupted. Scalise was fielding balls on second base when he was shot, according to lawmakers pres- ent, then dragged himself into the outfield to get away from the gunman. Rep. Mo Brooks, an Ala- bama Republican, said his col- league “crawled into the out- field, leaving a trail of blood.” “We started giving him the liquids, I put pressure on his wound in his hip,” Brooks said. Texas Rep. Joe Barton, still in his baseball uniform, told reporters a shooter came out to the practice and opened fire, shooting at Rep. Trent Kelly, R-Miss., who plays third base. “He shot at Steve Scalise, our second baseman. He hit Steve Scalise,” Barton said, “Scalise’s security detail and the Capitol Hill police imme- diately returned fire, and Alex- andria Police also immedi- ately came and began to return fire. They shot the shooter. The security detail saved a lot of lives because they attacked the shooter.” Barton said the shooting 150 Homes for Sale 300 Jewelry PUBLISHER'S NOTICE Buying Gold, Silver, Estate Jewelry, Coins, Diamonds, Old-Watches.

Lawmakers took cover in the dugout. Barton said his son, Jack, got under an SUV. Texas Rep. Mike Conaway, who was at the game, described what sounded like an explo- sion, then lawmakers scattering off the field as police roamed in search of the gunman and engaged him. “The guy’s down to a hand- gun, he dropped his rifle, they shoot him, I go over there, they put him in handcuffs,” Conaway said, adding that if the shooter had “gotten inside the fence, where a bunch of guys were holed up in the dug- out, it would have been like shooting fish in a barrel.” 8 am - 6 pm or leave a message anytime or e-mail us: circulation@dailyastorian.com Please call if: • pou would like to order home delivery • pour paper has not arrived by 5:30 pm Monday through Friday • pour paper is damaged • pou have a problem with a news rack • pou are going on vacation • pou have questions about your subscription We’re your newspaper
