520 On the morning of June 14, 2017, at a practice field for
the annual Congressional Baseball Game, a man opened fire
on the Republican team, wounding five, including Louisiana
Congressman Steve Scalise nearly fatally. In heart-
pounding fashion, Scalise's minute-by-minute account tells
not just his own harrowing story of barely surviving this
horrific attack, but the stories of heroes who emerged in
the seconds after the shooting began; in the minutes,
hours, and days after he suffered a devastating gunshot
wound, in order to save his life and the lives of his
friends. Scalise delves into the backgrounds of each hero,
seeking to understand how everyone wound up right where
they needed to be, right when they needed to be there, and
in possession of just the knowledge and experience they
needed in order to save his life. Scalise takes us through
each miracle, and each person who experienced it. He
brings us the story of Rep. Brad Wenstrup, an Army Reserve
officer and surgeon whose experience serving in combat in
Iraq prepared him to save Scalise's life that day; of the
members of his security detail who acted with nearly
cinematic courage; of the police, paramedics, helicopter
pilots and trauma team who came together to save his life.
It tells, most importantly, of the citizens from all over
America, who came together in ways big and small to help
one grateful man, and whose prayers lifted Scalise up,
during the worst of his hospitalization. As we follow the
gripping, heart pounding, and ultimately inspiring story,
we begin to learn what Scalise was experiencing in real
time; That Americans look out for each other; that there
is far more uniting us than dividing us.
