He is now listed in fair condition and is beginning an extended period of healing and rehabilitation,” Medstar Washington Hospital, where Scalise is being treated, [said in a statement Wednesday.](https://www.medstarwashington.org/news/2017/06/21/congressman-steve-scalise-update/#q=%7B%7D) On June 17, the last time the hospital provided an update, the hospital said his condition was “serious,” and that he had undergone another surgery but was continuing to improve. Before that, he had been in critical condition since he was brought to the hospital in shock after the shooting. Scalise was shot Wednesday June 14, after a gunman opened fire at a [GOP congressional baseball practice](http://time.com/4817777/alexandria-shooting-steve-scalise/) in Alexandria, Virginia. He was shot in the left hip, and the bullet injured his internal organs. “He’s in some trouble,” President Donald Trump said last Thursday, “but he’s a great fighter, and he’s going to be OK, we hope.” The FBI said Wednesday they believe shooter [James Hodgkinson](http://time.com/4819794/steve-scalise-virginia-shooting-zach-barth-roger-williams/), 66, of Illinois, who was killed in gunfire exchange with law enforcement, acted alone when he opened fire on the baseball practice. ## Transcript [00:00] And when the speaker announced that we were gonna [00:01] do it, every Republican I know and every Democrat [00:05] said that's the right thing to do.
