Senator Rand Paul was at Wednesdays Congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, when a shooter opened fire. He has spoken with various media outlets about what happened. You can listen to one of those interviews in the video above.

I was in the right field batting cageAnd the first thing we heard was a loud gunshot nobody really dove for the dirt with the first shot, there was a couple of seconds, but then there was a succession of maybe five or 10 shots in a row and people began to drop, Paul said.

It was also sort of a killing field. It was wide open with an AR-15, he added. He was hiding behind a tree.

Congressman Steve Scalise was shot in the hip. He was listed in stable condition but was taken into surgery shortly after being transported to the hospital. A statement on his condition is below.

In addition to Scalise, two Capitol police officers were hit by gunfire, according to WUSA9.

I do believe without the Capitol police, it would have been a massacre there would have been no stopping this guy, Paul added.

Video emerged showing wounded Rep. Steve Scalise being carried away on a stretcher after being shot during a mass shooting at a Congressional baseball practice.
