Congressman at shooting scene made 'frantic' phone call to his wife

Sava said infection remains a risk.

Sava said he was optimistic about the progress made by Scalise over the past 48 hours.

"And let's keep the Warmbier family and the Scalise family and all of the victims of the congressional shooting in our hearts and prayers", Trump continued.

Here's a look at some of the other moving tributes to Scalise and other scenes from Thursday night's game.

"By playing tonight we are showing the world that we will not be intimidated by threats, acts of violence or assaults on our democracy", said U.S. president Donald Trump, appearing on the park's giant screen but not attending.

Trump visited the Louisiana congressman at the hospital Wednesday night, and Vice President Mike Pence paid a visit Thursday morning.

Trump added that Scalise is "having a hard time, far worse than anybody thought" following the shooting Wednesday.

The person did not disclose the names, but said those listed had been briefed.

In this baseball game, the victorious team gave a member of the losing team the winner's trophy. The wound shattered bones, tore organs and caused severe bleeding.

Federer , who is bidding for his 16th grass-court title, owns a 56-6 career mark with eight championships in Halle . France's Richard Gasquet is also through after a 6-1 3-6 6-1 victory over Robin Haase.

Colleagues who visited Scalise, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, sounded generally upbeat, but spoke more in terms of hopes than the confident predictions of the immediate aftermath a day earlier. He was transported in shock to MedStar Washington Hospital Center, a Level I Trauma Center.

The Louisiana Republican was shot in the hip Wednesday morning in the baseball practice shooting by an IL man with grudges against President Donald Trump and the GOP. The offices of both senators - Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth - turned over the emails to Capitol Police and declined to offer specifics about their content.

Scalise had been fielding balls at second base when he was shot and then dragged himself away from the infield in a trail of blood.

Several Republican and Democratic members of the House of Representatives and Senate on Thursday said a security review was long overdue.

President Trump delivered a video message before Thursday's Congressional Baseball Game where he told the participants, "By playing tonight, you are showing the world that we will not be intimidated by threats, acts of violence, or assaults on our democracy.

We're competitive people by nature, and when you get to go out in a major league ballpark and play a kid's game, there's nothing like it".

- An active investigation is still being conducted at a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia a day after a man shot and wounded House GOP Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, a Capitol Police officer, and a current and former congressional aide.

A gunman opened fire on the Republican baseball team's practice before Thursday's annual charity baseball game, critically wounding Scalise, R-La., and injuring three other people as horrified legislators and staffers scrambled for cover amid a barrage of bullets. Hodgkinson has been identified as the suspect in the Wednesday, June 14, 2017, Washington D.C. shooting.
