U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-TX 8th District) is praising the Capitol Hill Police following a shooting at a June 14 practice for the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity.

“The quick action of Majority Whip Steve Scalise’s protection detail saved many lives this morning. I am so grateful for the heroic action of the Capitol Hill Police Force protection detail and pray for the full recovery of my roommate Congressman Steve Scalise and others wounded this morning.”

Congressman Brady attended practice but had left moments before the shooting began.
