"That's why it's really important that we play". "That we're not going to let the bad guys or the crazies interrupt our lives". "We don't need to be knee-jerk reactionaries".

WASHINGTON (AP) - Congressman Steve Scalise can hope to make an "excellent recovery", his trauma surgeon said Friday, even though the lawmaker arrived at the hospital Wednesday at imminent risk of death after getting shot at a congressional baseball practice.

Sanchez represents California's 38th district, a chunk of Southern California southeast of Los Angeles. This year's baseball game, played at Nationals Park in Southeast Washington, looks to be a place where members can show it.

There were 24,959 tickets sold, which was a record for the game that was first played in 1909. "I think it's a big statement that they're still having it".

"This is America's pastime", she continued.

Roger Marshall, included purchasing LSU t-shirts for members of the congressional baseball teams to wear at the game, the order did not ship in time, according to a tweet from Marshall's press secretary Eric Pahls. The annual GOP-Democrats baseball game raises money for charity. Both have since been released from the hospital.

He was listed in critical condition Wednesday night at a Washington hospital, which said he will require several more operations.

President Donald Trump spoke at the White House, saying Scalise's condition is more hard than initially thought. But the president then added, "He's going to be OK".

"He would just sit and stare at the Golf Channel", she said.

"I don't know anything about the perpetrator", King told reporters near the scene of the shooting. "But I just can't put him in harm's way". He sustained a relatively minor injury Wednesday morning as he and other officers engaged with a gunman who shot up a practice of the GOP baseball team.
