A congressman from OH who served as an Army surgeon in Iraq rushed to provide emergency medical care at Wednesday morning's shooting at a baseball park outside Washington, D.C.
"I had just gone to the batting cages and (was) coming in from the field and heard a shot and everyone got down". He laid on the ground and took cover during the approximately 10 minutes of gunfire.
Capitol police also saved lives, Sen.
Wenstrup said Scalise "was conscious" and "very brave" while receiving medical care - and praised the efforts of Capitol Hill police who returned fire at the gunman, James Hodgkinson, 66, who later died of his wounds. And then I noticed that Steve was down playing second base.
Fed's Yellen says conditions in place for inflation to rise
Yellen would not comment on her future beyond her intention to serve out her term as chairwoman, which ends next February. The unemployment rate forecasts were revised lower for all three years and the rate is expected to settle at 4.2% in 2019.
Scalise was conscious, thirsty and being "as fearless as he could possibly be", said Wenstrup.
"After the shooter was down ... we deferred to (Wenstrup's) judgment on what to do", Brooks told CNN.
"I held a cloth over the wound to stop the bleeding as Brad was getting some kind of scissors device to cut through the trousers to try to have better access to Steve Scalise's wound and his hip". He was transported to MedStar Washington Hospital Center, where he is now undergoing surgery. Later, the hospital said he was in critical condition. He is grateful for the fearless actions of US Capitol Police, first responders, and colleagues. "My prayers go out to Congressman Scalise, his aide and the first responders who were hurt in the senseless shooting". "Eventually it seems that the shooter shot both of our security detail people". Four other victims, including police, were treated at hospitals, according to the report. To fulfill his reserve duties while in Congress, he treats patients at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
"I'm glad I was there, but it's a sad day in America, that's for sure", Wenstrup told the network.
