Three months after the congressional shooting, Louisiana Republican Rep. Steve Scalise continues recovering in a rehab facility with no word on when he will return to Capitol Hill.
The House Majority Whip nearly died June 14 after a lone gunman shot him in the hip during a baseball practice with fellow Republicans and staffers in Alexandria, Virginia. The team was preparing for a charity game against Democrats scheduled the following day when the shooter — a disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporter who despised President Donald Trump and the GOP — opened fire with a 7.62 mm caliber rifle, striking Scalise and four others. The gunman died  at a Washington, D.C. hospital after a shoot out with Scalise’s security detail and local law enforcement.
“We were like sitting ducks,” Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul told Fox News of the shooting. “Without the Capitol Hill police it would have been a massacre.”
Scalise was rushed to Medstar Washington Hospital Center in grave condition. For the next six weeks, he cycled in and out of the intensive care unit as he underwent
