Scalise discharged from hospital, beginning rehabilitation

US House Majority Whip Steve Scalise—who was critically wounded in a shooting at a baseball practice last month -- has been discharged from a Washington hospital.

 

MedStar Washington Hospital Center says the six-term Louisiana Republican was released from the hospital on Tuesday and is beginning "intensive inpatient rehabilitation."

 

It isn't identifying the facility.

 

The hospital says in a statement that Scalise was in good spirits and looking forward to returning to work once he completes his rehabilitation.

 

Scalise and four other people were injured June 14 when a man opened fire on a Republican baseball practice in nearby Alexandria, Virginia.

 

The 51-year-old congressman was struck in the hip, and the bullet tore into blood vessels, bones and internal organs. He has undergone several surgeries.
