One victim of Virginia shooting identified as Washington food lobbyist
Arkansas-based Tyson Foods Inc. says one of its employees is among those shot at a congressional baseball practice Wednesday.
Tyson spokesman Gary Mickelson identifies the wounded employee as Matt Mika. He says Mika was taken to a hospital and that the company is awaiting word on his condition.
Mickelson says Mika is director of government relations for Tyson’s Washington, DC, office and that he’s worked for the company for more than six years.
He says the company is “deeply concerned” about Mika and his family.
