Congressman Steve Scalise is celebrating the release of his new book with a public signing and discussion at a Baton Rouge Barnes & Noble on Sunday, according to WVLA TV.
On November 18 at 2 p.m., Scalise will debut his self-portrayal “Back In The Game: One Gunman, Countless Heroes, and The Fight For My Life.”
The event will take place at the Barnes & Noble on 2590 Citiplace Court.
According to publishers, the book focuses on the heart pounding story of how Congressman Steve Scalise survived a political mass shooting and his inspiring return to Congress.
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 Scalise.
He has since recovered and even returned to baseball.
In heart-pounding fashion, we’re told 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.
