According to CNN, President Trump visited Rep. Steven Scalise in the hospital.
Mark Sanford, R, SC said, "I think as much as anything, today is an act of solidarity of Republicans and Democrats coming together to say what happened yesterday is not going to cancel this game".
"He's been through a number of surgeries for some very serious wounds to the chest", Moolenaar said. Practice for tonight's Congressional baseball game began Wednesday just after 6 a.m. Moolenaar had taken batting practice and had proceeded over to the batting cages to get some extra swings when he first heard shots along the first baseline.
Sava said Friday that there are hundreds of bullet fragments in Scalise's body.
Scalise, who remains in critical condition but has improved, was shot in the left hip and suffered damage to internal organs.
More on this as it develops. Pelosi said more money would help the agency enhance its presence when members of Congress, staff and others congregate away from the Capitol.
"We will not be intimidated by threats, acts of violence, or assaults on our Democracy, " President Donald Trump said in a videotaped message at the game.
After hearing the news, Democrats gathered together in the baseball field where they had been practicing and closed their eyes, praying for colleagues, staff and friends who had been injured, said Time magazine.
"This is a classic example of actual true heroism and responding in a textbook way - the way we would want the greatest officers to respond", Dine said.

The showers have become better organized and additional slow development is possible during the next few days. As days go by, chances for development will increase in the short term, meaning within days, then hours.
The House of Representatives' No. 3 Republican leader was in grave condition when he was first shot.
"So we all owe Steve a big, big thank you", Trump added.
Sava said he told Scalise's family that "I am not declaring victory until he's playing ball in his back yard with his family".
Wednesday's shooting, though, appears to have changed the debate. After 12 weeks, officers are sent to the Capitol Police Training Academy, a 40,000-square-foot facility in Cheltenham, Maryland, for another 13 weeks of instruction that includes drills with mockups of the Capitol and other buildings they will be protecting. Hodgkinson, a Belleville, Illinois, home inspector, had been living out of his van near the park. The offices of both senators - Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth - turned over the emails to Capitol Police and declined to offer specifics about their content.
This includes the party leaders in each chamber of Congress, their whips, the House speaker and the president pro tempore of the Senate (who presides when the president, ie US Vice-President Mike Pence, is absent).
Also hurt but released from hospitals were two Capitol Police officers, David Bailey and Crystal Griner, and House GOP aide Zack Barth.
She was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center, where she was treated for a gunshot wound to her ankle. Richmond, who plays for the Democratic team, said he had visited the hospital multiple times.
Bailey received a hero's welcome from a record crowd of almost 25,000 at Thursday's game when he threw out the first pitch, and Barth also showed up for the game, walking with crutches.
