House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was shot and critically injured during a GOP congressional baseball practice last week, was transferred out of the intensive care unit at MedStar Washington Hospital on Friday, Fox News confirmed. Scalise, R-La., remains hospitalized and there was no change in his condition, which was upgraded to "fair" on Wednesday. Four others were injured during the assault, but the gunman, James Hodgkinson, was the only person killed when he was shot by authorities. Since he was in leadership, Scalise had a security detail with him at the baseball field when the shooting began. Scalise was in critical condition when he was taken to the hospital and has undergone several surgeries.
