Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) on Wednesday said the annual congressional baseball game will go on after a gunman opened fire at Republican lawmakers’ practice session earlier in the morning.
“The congressional baseball game is going on tomorrow night and it should,” McSally told reporters. “And that was a standing ovation when that was announced.”
Several reports identified the individual suspected of opening fire at Republican lawmakers’ baseball practice Wednesday morning as James T. Hodgkinson.
Police said five people were “transported medically” from the scene of the shooting, and President Donald Trump told reporters that the suspected gunman died of injuries he sustained during the shooting.
“The congressional baseball game is going on tomorrow night and it should,” McSally told reporters.
