One of the many members of congress at the baseball field that was attacked by a lone gunman Wednesday morning was Michigan’s First Congressional District Representative, Congressman Jack Bergman.
Representative Bergman spoke by phone with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos shortly after the shooting.
The former marine described the scene when the shots were first heard.
Bergman says he was not able to see the shooter, identified as James Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois.
Representative Steve Scalise and four others were injured before the shooter could be taken down.
Bergman said he is a very close friend of Scalise, who was shot in the hip.
