Man with baseball bat attacks Democratic congressman's staff in Virginia office

A man wielding a metal bat attacked two staffers at the district office of Virginia Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly, causing non-life threatening injuries. The suspect, identified as 49-year-old Xuan Kha Tran Pham of Fairfax, has been charged with one count of aggravated malicious wounding and one count of malicious wounding. Pham suffers from schizophrenia and had previously been charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer. The motive for the attack is unclear, and investigators do not have any information that the suspect was known to the US Capitol Police. The attack comes amid a string of incidents where members of Congress, their staff, and their families have been attacked in recent months.
