Louisiana congressman Steve Scalise continued a triumphant homecoming weekend Saturday, attending Louisiana State University's football game Saturday (Sept. 30) to a roaring crowd.
Scalise, the 51-year-old House majority whip, was gravely wounded by a gunshot to the hip June 14 during a practice for the annual congressional charity baseball game in Alexandria, Virginia, and is in a long recovery.
Scalise and his family were on the field at Tiger Stadium just before kickoff with Ed Orgeron, LSU's head coach.
Scalise returned to the House floor Thursday and is set to spend the weekend with his family in Metairie before going back to Washington Monday.
