Rep. Steve Scalise and Tyson Foods lobbyist Matt Mika received the most severe injuries last Wednesday.
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and the lobbyist playing baseball with congressional Republicans when a gunman opened fire have been moved out of the ICU nine days after the shooting.
Scalise and Tyson Foods lobbyist Matt Mika received the most severe injuries June 14 when James Hodgkinson attacked their practice for Congress’ annual baseball game in Virginia.
The Louisiana Republican, shot in the hip, is listed in “fair condition” at MedStar Washington Hospital Center and is no longer in intensive care, the hospital said Friday.
The facility previously said the lawmaker received a “transpelvic gunshot wound” where the bullet went across his body, damaging bones and internal organs.

Mika was updated to “good” condition and is also out of the ICU, George Washington Hospital told the Daily News in a statement, including an image of the lobbyist with the Washington Nationals’ Jayson Werth.
Zack Barth, a congressional staffer to Texas Rep. Roger Williams, and Captiol Police officer Crystal Griner, were also shot.
Griner, struck in the ankle, was released from the hospital earlier this week, and threw out the first pitch at Wednesday’s Congressional Women’s Softball Game.
Capitol Police Officer David Bailey, who was not shot, also received an unspecified injury in the attack, and threw out the first pitch at the congressional men’s game a day later.

The FBI is taking the lead in the investigation into why Hodgkinson, a 66-year-old Illinois native who moved to Virginia before his attack, opened fire on the conservative ballplayers.
His social media history, which emerged in the aftermath of the shooting, shows stringent opposition to Republican policies but little inclination toward violence.
