Edwards Leads Prayer For Steve Scalise At State Capitol

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards and members of the Legislature took a pause in the ongoing special session to say a prayer for Congressman Steve Scalise after the U.S. House Majority Whip was injured in a shooting Wednesday.

“This appears to be an outrageous, cowardly attack on one of our own. Steve Scalise is a friend, colleague and fighter for the people of Louisiana," Edwards said in a statement. "Donna and I are praying for Congressman Scalise, his wife Jennifer, their two children, Madison and Harrison, and all those who were injured. I would ask the people of Louisiana to join their prayers to mine for a quick recovery for Congressman Scalise.”
