(WVUE/FOX 8) U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise was honored as the 2018 Alumnus of the Year at Rummel High School today during the school’s Rummel Day ceremony.
The House Majority Whip was recognized as he continues to recover from the shooting during a congressional baseball practice.
During the ceremony, Scalise told students about that fateful morning, when he asked God to be by his side after he was shot.
“God delivered, God delivered on those things, there's no reason I should be here if you look at what happened, no reason I should be here, except that God truly did perform miracles,” Scalise said.
