Steve Scalise, the House Republican whip who was shot in June at a congressional baseball team practice, returned to Capitol Hill Thursday for the first time since being seriously wounded and said his prayers had been answered during his recovery process. "I am definitely a living example that miracles really do happen," Scalise said with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy at his side. Scalise thanked God and his wife as well as the Capitol Police officers and doctors who saved his life. But he added that leaders he hadn't met also reached out to him. "They saw this as an attack on the institution of our Congress and our government."
