The condition of Steve Scalise, the third-ranking U.S. House Republican who was shot during a lawmakers’ baseball practice on June 14, was upgraded to serious by a Washington hospital after he underwent another surgery.
“He is more responsive, and is speaking with his loved ones,” MedStar Washington Hospital said in an email Saturday. “The Scalise family greatly appreciates the outpouring of thoughts and prayers.”
