House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, 51, was shot in the hip during the practice at a field in Alexandria, Virginia by the yet-to-be-identified rifle-wielding man, who was shot dead by the police. A second congressman Roger Williams was also injured, but it was unclear if he was shot or injured in some other way. The gunman was shot at by the police, apprehended and taken to a hospital. Earlier today, Trump in a statement said he was closely monitoring the developments in Virginia. "I was not at the scene today, but my thoughts and prayers are with Congressman Scalise, the Capitol Police officers and others who were shot, and their families," he said.
