Republicans in Congress return to baseball field nearly a year after shooter opened fire

As a light rain trickled down Wednesday, Republican members of Congress returned to a baseball field where a [shooter] critically wounded teammate Rep. Steve Scalise and shattered their sense of security nearly a year ago.

“Today is an emotional day,” said Texas Rep. Joe Barton, manager of the Republican congressional baseball team. “But it’s also a rebirth, a renewal. I’m proud of the team.”
