James T. Hodgkinson has been identified as the shooter who opened fire on Republican members of Congress Wednesday morning at a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia, the Washington Post reports.
Hodgkinson, 66, is from Belleville, Illinois, the newspaper reports. A motive for the shooting is not yet known.
The gunman was shot by two Capitol Hill Police officers who were at the scene as a security detail for Rep. Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, who was among those shot. The two police officers were also wounded, along with a staffer for Rep. Roger Williams of Texas. Scalise and the officers are expected to survive.
Witnesses described the gunman as being a white male. Rep. Mo Brooks told CNN the shooter was a “middle-aged” man “a little bit yon the chubby side.”

A Bernie Sanders socialist.
You can bet that the left will try to blame this on the Right to Bear Arms as opposed to Liberal/Socialist extremism.
The piece of garbage is dead....bye bye
I see on his license that he is a donor. I hope that no one gets his brain!
WOW! This just happened this morning. How do they acquire all this information so quickly and put it all together in an article so quickly? All the research and information they have. It's almost like this was pre-written and put out 3 hours later. Just saying...

Read the article. The information came from his facebook page.
The Shakespeare in the Park is a play presently going on in New York and President Trump is stabbed in the play and the Democrats think this is OK.

well gee, I dunno. maybe they looked at his license and ran his name? he has a criminal history of assaulting his girlfriend in 2006 also. Then, of course, there is his FB page someone has mentioned. and plus, these are not ordinary cops running the show up there.
Sounds like just another Democrat with a propensity for violence that finally snapped. Beware, there are more like him out there.
They are also Muslim dems waiting in Michigan.
He's from Illinois. Shooting people is what folks from that State do.
He is a super intelligent person.
He accomplished so much today.
Today was one of his better days.
His last day.
Is this story / event even real?
I mean, do people actually do stuff like this?
Terrible all what violence.
