The shooting at a baseball field in Alexandria, Va., where members of a congressional team regularly practice, left at least five injured, an official said.
The police said on Twitter that a suspect was in custody.
Mr. Brooks described a scene of chaos and of players taking cover wherever they could on the field.
He said that members of a security team exchanged gunfire with the gunman, who was armed with a rifle. The gunman said nothing as he opened fire, Mr. Brooks said. About 50 shots were fired, congressional sources said.
