Eric Trump on Wednesday blasted mainstream media outlets for not covering the stock markets.

His tweet came after a shooting occurred early Wednesday morning at a baseball practice field in a Washington, D.C., suburb in which House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) was shot.

The shooting dominated media coverage Wednesday morning after several people were shot at the practice in Alexandria, Va., where it is believed a single gunman fired as many as 50 shots at lawmakers and aides who scrambled for cover.

A police spokeswoman told The Washington Post that the shooter had been shot and was taken to a hospital.

Scalise was in stable condition following the shooting and underwent surgery. Lawmakers were practicing for the annual Congressional Baseball Game, scheduled for Thursday.

Donald Trump Jr. on Wednesday appeared to link the shooting to a controversial production of "Julius Caesar" in which the slain Roman dictator was outfitted in a way that resembled the president.

Following the shooting Wednesday morning, Trump Jr. retweeted a comment from CNN and Fox News contributor Harlan Hill, who linked "events like today" to "glorifying the assassination" of the president.
