Scalise remains in critical condition after shooting

Scalise, 51, and three others were wounded when a man identified as James Hodgkinson, 66, from the St. Louis suburb of Belleville, Illinois opened fire on the Republican lawmakers.

The charities benefiting from the game are the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington, Washington Literacy Center, the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation and, after Wednesday's shooting, the Capitol Police Memorial Fund, the AP said.

The House of Representatives' No. 3 Republican leader was in grave condition when he was first shot.

Sources close to the senior Republican said he remained in a critical condition.

"His risk of death right now is substantially lower than when he came in".

Sava said that multiple teams have worked on the congressman, with a combination of surgeries and procedures.

"He's having a hard time, far worse than anybody thought", he said, adding that he hoped the country could become more unified in the aftermath of the shooting.

"After he leaves the hospital, he will require a period of healing and of rehabilitation".

"We have no intention to remove all bullet fragments at this point", he said, noting that is common because finding and removing that many fragments is more risky than leaving them inside the body.

Sava said he was optimistic about the progress made by Scalise over the past 48 hours. Sava says Scalise has responded to family members while he's still under sedation. "How dare they say such a thing", Pelosi said.

Scalise had been fielding balls at second base when he was shot and then dragged himself away from the infield in a trail of blood.

"In Washington we have our disagreements, but we all agree that we are here to serve this nation we love, and the people who call it home", President Trump said in a video address to the crowd.

The shot fired at Scalise left perhaps hundreds of bullet fragments internally, many of which may never be removed because surgery might be more unsafe than leaving them in place, Sava said.

Scalise, who underwent a third surgery Thursday, is listed in critical condition after being shot through the hip.

President Donald Trump visited Scalise in the hospital, writing on Twitter, "Just left hospital. Most importantly, we are forever grateful for the heroism of [Capitol police agents] Crystal Griner and David Bailey who saved everyone's lives at the baseball field that morning, including Steve's".

Following a day that saw most congressional business cancelled, the House approved legislation offering health insurance tax credits to some veterans while committees pondered federal land management, cybersecurity and more.

Investigators said Hodgkinson had obtained his rifle and handgun from licensed firearms dealers, and Capitol Police said they had "no evidence to suggest that the purchases were not lawful".
