By Pete Williams, Alex Moe and Erik OrtizWASHINGTON — House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was among five people wounded Wednesday morning when a gunman opened fire during a congressional baseball practice at an Alexandria, Virginia, park. The Republican lawmaker was transported to MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., where he was in stable condition and underwent surgery. Scalise was injured in the hip. “Prior to entering surgery, the Whip was in good spirits and spoke to his wife by phone,” Scalise’s office said in a statement. President Donald Trump announced during an update from the White House that the suspect died after being taken to the hospital.
