Staffers for Georgia’s Republican congressmen say the officials and their staff are safe after a gunman shot a top House Republican and several other people at a congressional baseball practice just outside of Washington.

Rep. Barry Loudermilk is the only Georgia official listed on Republicans’ congressional baseball roster this year. Loudermilk said on official social media accounts that he was on the field but is safe.
