In multiple tweets on Wednesday morning, McCarthy said, "As we pray for full recoveries, we know we have witnessed again the incredible bravery of the Capitol Police. This is a tragic moment for their families, loved ones, and the entire community on Capitol Hill. Judy and I are praying deeply for our friend Steve, the members of Capitol Police, and staff who were wounded."
