sanjay gupta. the news that congressman is improving is good. from a doctor's perspective what stands out to you? >> when they are saying he is improving still in critical condition maybe requiring less medications. as you and i had been talking about before he has had two operations and another procedure done. that is not unexpected. that is typically how these things go in part because the doctors will stage the procedures meaning they will operate for a period of time and say that is enough now. we want to let the patient rest and recover and want to give the patient some blood and factors that help clot the blood so that is all sort of expected. the fact that there has been improvement over the past 24 hours seems to be heading in the right direction. that is probably the most critical data point at this point. >> and the area around the hip where the congressman was shot, what are some difficulties that surgeons face operating? >> some of the biggest ones are a series of blood vessels in that area. there are big blood vessels and buried wit

sanjay gupta joins us. how much do we know about his condition? >> we're just hearing from the hospital after he came out of surgery, which was sort of midafternoon around 2:30, 3:00, that he was in critical condition. that's obviously concerning. we saw images of him, you may remember, at the scene. we hear that that time at the scene, he was stable. he was actually able to speak to his wife on the phone. he was transported by helicopter to the hospital. five to ten minute transfer. by the time he arrived, he was in critical condition. obviously, he seems to have some deterioration during that time. was in surgery for several hours. still in critical condition. this is obviously the job of the nurses and doctors to try to care for him and stabilize him, which is i'm sure what they are trying to do. there was a gunshot wound to the hip. no vital organs in the area. but there can be significant bleeding. >> matt mika, a lobbyist practicing with the team, i understand he is in critical condition after being shot in the chest. what can you say about

sanjay gupta, saturday night, 9:00 eastern. it features highlights from the whole week.a week-long cnn special event, is brought to you by charles schwab. i want to show you one of the most emotional parts of tonight's congressional baseball game. a capitol police officer who risked his life responding to wednesday's attack on republican baseball program threw out the first pitch. pretty good pitch, i thought. david bailey walking onto the field on crutches to very loud applause. although he did not suffer a gunshot wound, capitol police said that bailey was treated for a minor injury. the other capitol police agent who was on sight yesterday when shots were fired is crystal griner, she was shot in the ankle and remains hospitalized on thursday. and we are wishing her the best. both of them, the best. they are truly heroes. and we wanted to honor them tonight on this program. that's it for us tonight. thank you so much for watching. i'll see you right back here tomorrow night. good night. i feel it every day. but at night, it's the last thing on my mind. for 10 years my

sanjay gupta joining us with more. bullet to the pelvis. he was dragging himself away. a lot of that was adrenaline. he spoke to his wife? >> they called him stable and in good spirits. you saw the video. what sounds like happened, he had a transport from the field to the hospital. by the time he an arrived at the hospital, he was in critical condition. not critical, but stable, but just critical. a significant deterioration if you will over that few minutes of time. it sounds like significant blood loss. went to the operating room and in the operating room several hours. went back to the operating room to control blooding and still in critical condition. a hip injury. how serious can it be? it can be serious as evidenced here. you fracture the bones and injured internal organs in the be an do meabdomen and severe b >> it looked on the stretcher taken away and it looked it was worse than what his colleagues were saying. it must have been adrenaline getting him through the initial moments and shock that keep you functioni functioning. where do you think this leaves us? >

sanjay gupta. doctor, it appears at this moment no life-threatening injuries.ink of your experience as a trauma surgeon. you're on a baseball field. somebody comes in with a rifle. first they heard one shot and all of a sudden rat a tat a tat. describe cat concerns at that moment. >> two things are going on simultaneously. you want to care for the injured but at the same time, when there's still somebody shooting, you obviously are balancing that with your own well-being. so that was happening it sounded like at the time pretty dramatic descriptions of going over to people, trying to do basic care. stopping bleeding, applying pressure. applying tourniquets and that sort of thing. that's really some of the more important things you can do in a situation like that. we know, i haven't heard the full descriptions of the other injured. we know with congressman scalise that he was shot in the hip. we know if there's anything good about this, there's no vital organs in that area which is why it wasn't surprising he was able to be awake even making a phone call. still

you heard sanjay gupta on the area a sort time ago talking about what critical condition means. the definition according to the american hospital association and the person's vital signs are outside the normal levels and he could be unconscious. often times it has to do with excessive bleeding, so it can be expected that at least one of these procedures probably was done to address some bleeding issues. >> it's a serious situation. all of us are wishing him only the best. we're praying for him right now. brian, thank you very much. we'll stay in close touch with you. doing an investigation on the gunman. james hodgkinson had been in the d.c. area for a few weeks living out of a cargo van. many people mentioned seeing him work at his laptop at the ymca which was right near the baseball field. neighbors also said he actually hung out on a bench near the baseball field where the republican team was practicing. illinois congressman is joining us live from capitol hill. congressman, he lived in your district. he contacted your office we're told at least ten times over the past year a

sanjay gupta joins us now. so, when -- let's talk about steve scalise.operating on a wound around the hip and there's certainly a lot of organs around there. >> yeah. and this trajectory of this bullet, you know, sort of went through the pelvis, the abdomen, there's -- obviously concerns there, but the biggest concern, i think as bruin was ian was re to is the bleeding. when you talk about a rifle injury, it's not even necessarily that the bullet actually strikes the blood vessels, it just creates such a wave, they call it cavation, that it can shear blood vessels that are some distance away. that's one of the challenges. you know where the injury is going to be, but you have to look in other places to see the sources of bleeding. a lot of times, they have so sort of stage a procedure. and that means at some point, even though you're not having completed what you need to compete, you have to stop. and the reason being, you have to be able to let the patient recover from this part of the operation, give them some blood products back, make sure their blood

sanjay gupta. what do we know? what is the latest that we know about steve scalise's condition and what he's been through? >> well, what we've heard from the hospital, kate, is that he is in critical condition. and these terms that are used a lot, kate, critical, fair, these are not all uniform terms. this particular hospital, medstar, i witnessed how they define these terms, and critical basically means that vital signs, blood pressure and heart rate are not stable, they're still changing, and it's usually an indication that there could be some ongoing concerns about bleeding, and most likely that's what the operations that he had yesterday were designed to do, to try and address that bleeding. it can take several operations sometimes to try and stop that bleeding, so it's sort of a combination of things -- stopping the bleeding, and at the same time, providing blood, blood transfusions. this could be a significant injury. with a rifle injury to that particular area of the body, there are lots of blood vessels, an
