JUST IN: A person wielding a baseball bat attacked two of Rep. Gerry Connolly’s staff members in his district office. Connolly says the person is in police custody and his aides were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
WASHINGTON — A person with a baseball bat entered the district office of Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., on Monday morning and attacked two members of his staff, the congressman said in a statement.
He said his focus is on ensuring his staff members receive the care they need. It's unclear which members of Connolly's staff were injured or where the congressman was when the attack occurred. "I have the best team in Congress," Connolly added."My District Office staff make themselves available to constituents and members of the public every day. The thought that someone would take advantage of my staff’s accessibility to commit an act of violence is unconscionable and devastating."
