Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) has been shot, according to multiple reports. Follow Breitbart News for live updates on the developing situation.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS:

• A man shot at several dozen Republican members of Congress during a baseball practice Wednesday morning in Alexandria, Virginia

• Rep. Steve Scalise (R-AL) was shot in the hip but is now stable and undergoing surgery for his wound

• Because Scalise is House Majority Whip, Capitol Hill Police officers were already present and engaged the gunman for several minutes

• The suspect — James T. Hodgkinson, 66, of Belleville, Illinois — was taken into custody and has died from his wounds

• Five individuals total were shot by the assailant: Scalise, two police officers, a lobbyist and a congressional staffer

• Wounded staffer works for Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX). An early report incorrectly said that Williams himself was shot

• Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) told a reporter the shooter “was there to kill as many Republican members as possible.”

• Hodgkinson’s apparent social media pages reveal intense hatred for President Trump and Republicans
