There were some 15-20 members of Congress at the practice. Scalise was playing second base for the Republican team and was taking infield when the shooting began. The shooter was reportedly firing from the fence line of the baseball park in Alexandria, near the third base line, lending the potential that Scalise may have been specifically targeted. Rep. Trent Kelly, who was playing third base, and Rep. Gary Palmer, who was at shortstop, were closer to the shooter than Scalise was.

A Scalise aide and a Capitol Police officer were reportedly also hit, the Scalise aide in the chest and the policewoman in the lower leg. Rep. Roger Williams was also injured as he slid into a dugout attempting to avoid the gunfire. Williams reportedly broke his ankle. One of Williams’ staff members was reportedly also shot. As a member of House leadership, Scalise carries a security detail of two Capitol police officers. Alexandria police were reportedly on the scene within three minutes
