BREAKING NEWS: Chaos As Top Lawmaker And His Aide Shot

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was among at least four people wounded Wednesday morning when a gunman sprayed bullets during a congressional baseball practice at an Alexandria, Virginia, park.

The Republican lawmaker was transported to MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., where he was in stable condition and undergoing surgery. Scalise was wounded in the hip.

"Prior to entering surgery, the Whip was in good spirits and spoke to his wife by phone," Scalise's office said in a statement. "He is grateful for the brave actions of U.S. Capitol Police, first responders, and colleagues."

Two Capitol Police officers were also wounded and their injuries are not considered life-threatening.

A statement from Congressman Roger Williams' office said the Texas Republican was not wounded, but a member of his staff was shot and taken to the hospital. "Please keep the member of my staff and all members of the congressional baseball team in your thoughts and prayers," Williams tweeted.

Alexandria Police Chief Michael Brown said five people were taken to local hospitals, including the suspect, following the shooting, which began shortly after 7 a.m. Brown declined to give conditions or identify the victims.

A spokeswoman for George Washington Hospital said two patients were brought to the facility and listed in critical condition, but declined further comment.

Brown said officers at the scene returned gunfire with the suspect, who was eventually taken into custody and is no longer a threat.

'"It's an active scene. We're having a lot of people to interview," Brown said.

UPDATE: Suspect is in custody and not a threat. PIO will be onscene shortly to share updates.
