Donovan says Capitol police saved lives at shooting
New York City’s lone Republican House member quickly sought to assure his constituents that he was safe after the shooting in a suburb of Washington, D.C. that critically injured a Louisiana congressmember and four others Wednesday morning.
U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan (R-C-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island) was on Capitol Hill when the shooting took place on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia, according to his spokesperson.
U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, the House majority whip, was shot in the hip and was transported to a local hospital, according to The New York Times. He’s listed in critical condition following surgery, per multiple reports.
