U.S. Representative Steve Scalise, who was wounded by a gunman’s attack on Republican lawmakers as they held a baseball practice, had surgery Thursday to manage an infection, a day after being readmitted to the intensive care unit of a Washington hospital.
Scalise, the third-ranking U.S. House Republican, “tolerated the procedure well” and is listed in serious condition, according to a statement from MedStar Washington Hospital Center.
