Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell fractured his shoulder on Sunday in a fall at his Kentucky home.

“This morning, Leader McConnell tripped at home on his outside patio and suffered a fractured shoulder. He has been treated, released, and is working from home in Louisville,” a statement from his office reads. “This afternoon he contacted Senators [John] Cornyn and [Rob] Portman to express his deepest sympathies for the people of El Paso and Dayton and discuss the senseless tragedies of this weekend. The leader will continue to work from home.”

The spill comes as McConnell, 77, faces increasing pressure for the Senate to take up a House-passed gun-control measure in the wake of mass-shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, on Saturday that left a total 29 people dead.

“The House passed HR8, a Bipartisan Background Checks Act, *5 months ago* and the Senate has yet to vote on it. It was one of our 1st major priorities after ending the gov shutdown. You’ve been sitting on it since February giving bogus excuses. Care to explain the people why?” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Sunday, in response to a McConnell tweet offering “prayers” for the fallen.

The bill would require background checks for people seeking to purchase firearms from private individuals, rather than at a licensed gun store.
