what happened to steve scalise

Steve Scalise was shot and seriously wounded in 2017 during a practice for the Congressional Baseball Game, and he spent months recovering before returning to Congress later that year. He is now active in House leadership and was still publicly appearing in 2025–2026.

What happened

• On June 14, 2017, Scalise was hit by a rifle round during the shooting at the baseball practice.

• The injury was severe and caused major damage to bones, blood vessels, and internal organs.

• He underwent surgery and a long rehabilitation period, with his condition improving over time.

• He later returned to Congress and continued serving in leadership roles.

Current status

As of the latest public information I found, he is still serving as House Majority Leader and has been active in recent political coverage.

If you want, I can also give you a very short “quick scoop” version or explain the 2017 shooting in more detail.
