Dem baseball team prays for GOP colleagues after shooting

Democrats preparing for the Congressional Baseball Game on Wednesday prayed for their Republican colleagues after at least five people were shot at the GOP team’s practice. 

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) told CNN that House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), two Capitol Police officers on protective detail and unidentified staffers were shot. 

Brooks said Scalise was shot in the hip and was “dragging his body” to get away from the shooter.
