(RNN) – After a gunman opened fire on a Congressional baseball practice on Wednesday morning, politicians from both sides of the aisle came together on social media to condemn the violence.
Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, a true friend and patriot, was badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.

You never expect a baseball field in America to feel like being back in a combat zone in Iraq, but this morning it did.
