Two Capitol Police Officers, both members of House Whip Steve Scalise’s security detail this morning, are being hailed as heroes today after a gunman opened fire, targeting congressional Republicans practicing for tomorrow’s annual charity baseball game in D.C. In an emotional floor speech, Speaker Paul Ryan named and thanked the two special agents:
Special Agent David Bailey is a nine-year employee of the Capitol Police, and a Graduate of North Carolina Central University. Bailey also worked as an administrator at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Falls Church, Virginia, from 2005 to 2008. Bailey is credited with helping attend to Whip Scalise’s injuries. He is reported to be in “good” condition and expected to recover from his injuries.
