Scalise’s office released an official statement on his return, saying the congressman is “returning to work at the United States Capitol,” adding that the Louisiana Representative still faces “an extended period of out-patient rehabilitation over the coming months.”
Scalise and others were severely injured on June 14th when a lone gunman, later identified as James Hodgkinson, opened-fire on a Congressional baseball practice in northern Virginia. The Majority Whip was shot in his left hip, and was in critical condition for days following the mass assassination attempt.
