Alexandria gunman carried list of names of members of Congress

A list of names - including some Republican members of Congress - was found with the Alexandria shooter, according to a law enforcement source and Rep. Mo Brooks, who was on the list and present at the practice but unharmed by the shooting.

Scalise's trauma surgeon said Friday he can hope to make an "excellent recovery", even though the lawmaker arrived at the hospital Wednesday at imminent risk of death.

The suspect in the shooting at the congressional baseball practice earlier this week had a list including the names of some members of Congress on him, CBS News has confirmed. A single shot left Scalise, 51, with a shattered bone in his left hip and internal injuries that caused severe bleeding. Scalise remained in critical condition on Friday although his condition has improved, doctors said.

All three Congressmen on the shooter's hit list belong to the House Freedom Caucus, which is comprised of the House of Representative's most conservative members.

Since then, the lawmaker has undergone multiple surgeries and procedures to stop the bleeding and fix bone. At the request of the family, we will continue to provide periodic updates. It's an attack which sent several to the hospital including two Capitol police officers and Congressman Steve Scalise.

As we reported yesterday, Democrats in Congress have graciously reached out to Republicans, starting with praying for them Wednesday morning and joining them in prayer at the Congressional baseball game yesterday. The shooter was an IL man, James Hodgkinson, who had lashed out against President Donald Trump and Republicans over social media.

"I had no idea this was going to happen, and I don't know what to say about it", she said with difficulty, through tears. "I think that his risk of death right now is substantially lower than when he came in. he was as critical as you can be when he came in". Griner remains hospitalized at MedStar Hospital after getting shot in the ankle, and Sava described her in good condition.

Former congressional staffer Matt Mika was shot multiple times in the chest and arm and "requires assistance to breathe", according to his family.
