[Washington, DC] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) released the following statement in response to this morning’s shooting at a practice for the Congressional Baseball Game in Alexandria, Virginia:

“My heart goes out to Congressman Scalise, his staff, and the security officials involved in this horrific shooting.
