Scalise was seriously wounded after 66-year-old James Hodgkinson opened fire at a group of Republican lawmakers who were practicing for a congressional baseball game on June 14, 2017, at a field in Alexandria, Va., ahead of a charity game.

Hodgkinson was killed in a shootout with police shortly after.

The Louisiana Republican was struck in the hip by a bullet and underwent nine different surgeries and months of physical therapy before making a recovery and returning to Congress.
