MedStar first announced Scalise's condition following his first surgery.

The shooter, James T. Hodgkinson, specifically targeted the field when he discovered that the Republicans were practicing. He is a former volunteer for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)'s campaign for president. Sanders condemned Hodgkinson after discovering that he was a supporter.
