WASHINGTON (AP) — Wounded congressman Steve Scalise has been moved out of the intensive care unit.
Citing “continued good progress,” MedStar Washington Hospital Center says the Louisiana Republican was moved late Thursday.
The hospital says in a statement that Scalise remains in fair condition as he continues an extended period of healing and rehabilitation.”
The No. 3 House GOP leader, Scalise was shot in the hip on June 14 when a gunman opened fire at a baseball practice of Republican lawmakers in Alexandria, Virginia.
Four others were also wounded, and the attacker was killed. Doctors said Scalise was near death when he arrived at the hospital.
I’m glad.
I wish I thought it might make a difference in his position on gun control. I don’t think it will which is unforgivable, but I still am extremely glad he isn’t going to die from this.
Why does anyone think the shooter intended to kill Scalise? Shoot 'm in the arse? Seems appropriate, somehow. I wonder if the shooter was not a better shot than the press gives him credit for.
hard to be a good shot with a SKS
If he’s not carefull that position may just come back and bite him in the ass.
…oh wait.
So, is it okay for all of us who don’t want him or anyone else to be shot by a mentally unbalanced person with a gun to begin talking about how to keep mentally ill people from getting guns and shooting people? Or is it still too soon?
