He brought democrats and republicans to their feet, to cheer for the same thing. applause members of both Political Parties welcomed him back to congress with a rousing ovation, and with good reason. Three and a half months ago, he was nearly killed, when a gunman armed with a rifle and a. 9 mm handgun, ambushed the republican congressional baseball team. In his first interview since the shooting, joined by his wife jennifer, he explained to us in vivid detail how he survived. Its not been widely known just how close he came to death, the extent of his injuries, and what physical challenges are in his future, until now. Steve scalise its a miracle. If you look at what happened that morning . You know, a gunman came out with a lot of artillery you know, just hell bent on on killing a lot of us. And were just out there playing baseball sitting ducks. And he started firing away. If you would have said at the end of this, the only person that would be dead would be the shooter, nobody would believe it. Odonnell it was just after 7 00 a. M. On june 14th, at a ballpark in alexandria, virginia, when a team made up of republican members of Congress Went from shagging balls to dodging bullets. gunfire has that guy been shot . Is he okay . Odonnell that guy was congressman Steve Scalise. Hed been hit in the left hip with a bullet from a rifle. This cell phone video was among the first images of him that day. The last was him being wheeled on a gurney to a helicopter, clinging to life. He spent most of the next four days unconscious. Steve scalise i found out later just how much damage was done internally. You know, i mean, my femur was shattered. The hip and pelvis had serious damage where the bullet went through and, you know, did some damage to areas that had to be shored up with steel plates, and then they did a phenomenal job of rebuilding, you know, kind of the, rebuilding humpty dumpty. laughs i mean, there were, there was a lot of damage inside that that had to get fixed. Odonnell they put you back together again. Steve scalise they put me back together again. laughs odonnell youre known as a man who loves politics and baseball. Have either of those things changed . Steve scalise not a bit. You know i love the job i have as a member of congress representing, southeast louisiana. And i love being the House Majority whip. This is morally wrong. Odonnell as the majority whip, Steve Scalise ranks third in the Republican House leadership. Steve scalise read this bill. Odonnell . And usually counts votes, not balls and strikes. Unless hes playing second base for the republicans. And thats where he was, at practice, the day before the annual congressional baseball game, one of the last bipartisan activities in a polarized washington. Scalise was fielding balls when he heard what he thought was a tractor backfire, and then, he was on the ground. Steve scalise i knew i was shot. Didnt know how bad it was. You know, in a weird way, your body kind of goes numb. You know, as bad as the wounds were and obviously, i know now how severe it was. At the time, i guess my body had been shutting down a lot of the real pain, and i was just thinking about, what was going on at the moment. Odonnell did you see the shooter . Steve scalise never saw the shooter. Odonnell the shooter was 66yearold james hodgkinson. According to the f. B. I. , hed posted antirepublican views on social media and had a piece of paper that contained the names of six members of congress. Weve learned they were all conservative republicans. Scalise was not on the list, but two of his teammates were. Do you believe you were targeted as a republican . Steve scalise i think it was clear he he had a political agenda, if you want to even call it that. And its a sick, twisted agenda. I dont think he could have been in the right frame of mind. But it was clear what his intentions were. Odonnell when you were shot, when you were on second base, you you tried to crawl, right . Steve scalise well, when i went down, you know, my first instinct was to try to get away from the gunfire. So i started crawling. And you know, thats when my arms gave out. Odonnell and then what did you do . Steve scalise at that point, i just went into prayer. And it, it gave me a calmness. It was a weird calmness, while im hearing the gunfire. You know the first thing that came to mind . I prayed, god, please dont let my daughter have to walk up the aisle alone. That was the first thing that came to mind. Odonnell that was the first thing . Steve scalise yeah. And obviously after that, i prayed that i could see my family again. Brad wenstrup i could see the fire coming from the barrel of his rifle. Odonnell when the shooting started, congressman Brad Wenstrup of ohio was near the batting cages. He had one eye on an injured Steve Scalise and the other on the shooter. Wenstrup my fear was that he was going to get more people. And but i was also encouraged because we knew that we had somebody re to return fire. Odonnell because of scalises detail . The Capitol Police that were with him. Wenstrup exactly. Correct. Steve really took a bullet for all of us, because if hes not here, he doesnt get hit. But if hes not here, there might be 20 people laying out there. Odonnell because hes a member of the leadership, he has security detail. Wenstrup correct. Steve scalise it wasnt just a shooter, at that point. It was literally a shootout going back and forth. And and i could hear it. You know, my my my, the sound was as clear as day. I i knew what was happening. And it it sounded like a lot of shots. Odonnell your colleagues that were out there, they knew you were down, and they wanted to get to you. But the shots were still going on. Steve scalise yeah, while the shooting was going on you know, mike conaway from texas was playing first base, and he was able to get right behind the dugout. And he was the closest one to me, and i i just kept remember him whispering, you know, stevie, dont worry. Were going to get you. Were going to get you. And he just kept whispering and it was it was really calming. I could just sense that the other members were in the dugout waiting. Odonnell you remember that . Steve scalise till it was over. Yeah. gunfire odonnell the shootout lasted about ten minutes, and around 100 shots were exchanged with the gunman. Five people were injured. Many of the details are still under investigation. The shooting ended when the two Capitol Police officers, joined by three alexandria police, mortally wounded the shooter. Wenstrup once i saw him drop, thats when i started running and making my way out to the outfield. Odonnell so you ran from behind the bathrooms here, right through this gate to congressman scalise wenstrup right. Correct. Yes. So and several people started running from the dugout, too, once they knew he was down. Odonnell Steve Scalise was bleeding to death, but his prospects for survival were about to improve. Brad wenstrup isnt just a congressman. Hes also a combat surgeon and a colonel in the army reserve. As soon as the gunman was down, the cavalry came pretty quickly. Steve scalise yeah. It was it it just seemed like the true cavalry. I mean, you know, i heard the words, gunman down. And Brad Wenstrup was, you know, immediately right there by my side, starting to actually administer care. Odonnell as an iraq veteran, youve dealt with a lot of trauma. Wenstrup sure. Odonnell when you saw the wound and you saw that it was essentially, what through the hip, and there was no exit wound, how worried were you . Wenstrup i was very worried, actually. It reminded me of a case in iraq where it d it didnt have a good ending. Odonnell transpelvic gunshot wounds are known for heavy internal bleeding thats very difficult to stop. Congressman wenstrup improvised a tourniquet out of a belt. Wenstrup and put pressure on the wound. And then later tourniquet came. We put on a regular tourniquet. I found a clotting bandage that we put into the dressing as well. And we waited for the helicopter, basically. Nice to see you. Richard krimmer nice to see you, sir. Wenstrup under better circumstances. Krimmer absolutely. Odonnell dozens of First Responders rushed to the scene. One of them was paramedic rick krimmer of the alexandria fire department. He made the call to get congressman scalise onto the next available helicopter and helped load the congressman on board. Steve scalise you know, the only time i really started to to worry was when they were getting ready to put me on the helicopter. And to me, it seemed like forever, and i know it was probably just minutes. But i think i told some of the paramedics, dont let me bleed out on this field. Wenstrup i met the pilot of the helicopter later. He said, i flew that bird like i stole it. laughs odonnell a sevenminute flight away, across the potomac river, the trauma team at medstar Washington Hospital was ready. Dr. Jack sava led the team. What condition was he in . Dr. Jack sava well, when he left the trauma unit, he he did not have a Blood Pressure that anybody could find. So thats obviously sort of hovering on the border between life and death. Odonnell to keep scalise alive, two minutes after he arrived, they began something called a massive transfusion protocol. Dr. Sava says its a method of delivering blood thats been improved by hard Lessons Learned on the battlefields of iraq and afghanistan. Dr. Sava the blood bank will just start sending blood in, in all the right combinations. The, the blood cells, the platelets, the plasma. It all comes in a cooler. And a cooler comes every 15 minutes till you call and say, stop. So odonnell how many units of blood did Steve Scalise use in the first day . Dr. Sava i think he got roughly 18 to 20 units of blood in the first day. Odonnell how much blood is that . Dr. Sava thats a lot. Thats more than you have in your body. Odonnell doctors operated to stop the bleeding, then employed Imaging Technology to find and seal the leaking blood vessels they couldnt get to in normal surgery. At what point did you think, okay, hes going to make it . Dr. Sava i dont know that i ever thought in those terms. I think that there was a point in the first operation, when we got some semblance of control, when i thought, you know, maybe this guys got a shot. Odonnell after 20 days in intensive care, and nearly six weeks in the hospital, he was transferred to an inpatient rehabilitation facility. There was plenty of work to do. Hed undergone seven surgeries in total. First to stop the bleeding, then to repair his upper left leg, hip, and pelvis. And finally, to fight infections dr. Sava says are common with these kind of bullet wounds. Steve scalise its working well. Odonnell hed lost 50 pounds, and at 51 years old, needed to learn how to walk again. Meaghan minzy nice job. Odonnell to start the process, he needed the help of a special machine to hold him up. Steve scalise it feels a lot better. Odonnell when he attempted some steps on his own for the first time, his physical therapist, meaghan minzy, was there to make sure he didnt fall. Odonnell youre basically learning how to walk again . Steve scalise you really are. You have to build the muscles back up. The muscles really deteriorated. Odonnell and, to be able to walk like this, its got to be psychologically, like, a real milestone . Steve scalise it feels real good. I mean, you can see the progress. And its something weve been trying to do for a long time and its nice to finally be there. Odonnell Jennifer Scalise thought so too. Steve scalise oh man. Odonnell describe, like, what that meant to you, to see your husband on his own, walking. Jennifer scalise it gave me hope. laughter odonnell hope for what . Jennifer scalise its hard not you know, seeing him not be able to do things on his own, and walk on his own. So when i saw that, it was just a huge sigh of relief, that he can do this. Like, hes got this. Im ready to go both. All right, we made it. Odonnell after three and a half months in two hospitals. applause . Steve scalise made his return to capitol hill this past thursday, and with the help of crutches, walked back into the house and his role as majority whip. applause Steve Scalise you have no idea how great this feels, to be back here at work in the peoples house. Odonnell he says his doctors are optimistic that hell be able to walk without help and perhaps even run again. But, hundreds of pieces of that single bullet will remain inside him for the rest of his life. When he was shot in june, there was a lot of talk from members of congress of all stripes, calling for the kind of unity we witnessed thursday. So after his emotional welcome back, we followed congressman scalise to his office, and asked him if the appearance of unity could result in something more lasting. Steve scalise ultimately on some of these big issues, were not that far apart. But when everybody goes into their separate corners, its just real easy to to demonize the other side, instead of saying, okay, how can we come together and figure out how to get done whats important for the country . Hopefully this might have pulled us a little bit closer together. Its easy for that to go away, but i would hope that we we focus on how we can achieve some of those things that we havent been able to get done yet. Steve scalise on little miracles.
