He said during the concert the audience had been through some "troubling" days with the shooting last week in Alexandria, Va. "We are so grateful that congressman Scalise and his comrades made it through," he said, to cheers. "So grateful. We hold them up as love holds us all up." Scalise was one of five people wounded when a shooter opened fire at congressional Republicans practicing for the annual Congressional Baseball Game. Scalise is currently recovering from the gunshot wound. He was shot in the hip and suffered significant blood loss, broken bones and damage to internal organs. He is expected to be out for weeks, if not months, given the severity of his injuries. Over the weekend, the hospital said Scalise's condition had improved to "serious" from "critical" and that he was communicating with family members. Lawmakers played last week in the charity Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Stadium following the shooting a day earlier.
