Lobbyist Matt Mika has been released from the hospital after being shot multiple times at a congressional baseball practice last week, his family said in a statement.
Mika is a Tyson Foods lobbyist and former staffer for two Michigan congressmen. He was among the four people shot by James Hodgkinson at Simpson Park in Alexandria, Va., during a practice for the June 15 Congressional Baseball Game.
“We are truly grateful for the compassionate, world-class care provided by the doctors, nurses and team at George Washington, and we will never forget and continue to be grateful for the heroism shown by the U.S. Capitol Police,” Mika’s family said in a statement announcing he was discharged from George Washington University Hospital on Friday. “We truly appreciate the prayers, words of encouragement and support from Matt’s friends, family and people across the nation and the world.”
Mika, a member of the Republican congressional baseball team, was shot multiple times in his chest and arm and had “suffered massive trauma,” his family said.
