Two staff members were assaulted with a baseball bat at the office of Virginia Congressman Gerry Connolly Monday afternoon.

Connolly said in a statement that an individual with a baseball bat entered his office and asked for him, before attacking two members of his staff.
Police are on the scene Monday afternoon at 10680 Main Street in Fairfax, VA, investigating the incident. The two victims are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.

The suspect is in police custody.

"Right now, our focus is on ensuring they are receiving the care they need. We are incredibly thankful to the City of Fairfax Police Department and emergency medical professionals for their quick response," said Connolly. "I have the best team in Congress. My District Office staff make themselves available to constituents and members of the public every day. The thought that someone would take advantage of my staff’s accessibility to commit an act of violence is unconscionable and devastating."
