Story highlights Republican House Whip Steve Scalise was shot in Virginia on Wednesday

Members of Congress said their annual baseball game will go on Thursday night

Washington (CNN) GOP Rep. Claudia Tenney received a threatening email following the shooting in Alexandria, Virginia at a baseball practice for Congressional Republicans ahead of a charity game.

The email sent to Tenney had the subject line "One down, 216 to go," Tenney's office confirmed to CNN.
