The gunman who attacked a Wednesday morning congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, has died from his injuries.
President Donald Trump said in a statement from the White House that House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was shot in the attack, was recovering from his injuries at a nearby hospital, along with two Capitol Police officers. At least two others were wounded in what Trump described as a "brutal assault."

Trump said the FBI was continuing to investigate the case. Police outside the crime scene, at a local YMCA just south of Washington, D.C., said the situation was stable.
"We can all agree that we are blessed to be Americans ... that our children deserve to grow up in a nation of safety and peace, and that we are strongest when we are unified and when we work together for the common good," he said.
