Baseball shooting: Who is James T Hodgkinson, the gunman who opened fire on congressional team practice?
The gunman who opened fire at the congressional baseball practice this morning has been named as James T Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois, by law enforcement officials.
Mr Hodgkinson, 66, owns a home inspection business.
He is understood to be in custody.
Mr Hodgkinson was vociferous on social media about his dislike for Donald Trump and reportedly volunteered on political campaigns for Bernie Sanders.
Charles Orear, 50, a restaurant manager from St Louis, told the Washington Post he met him during a campaign in Iowa.
“He was this union tradesman, pretty stocky, and we stayed up talking politics,” he said. “He was more on the really progressive side of things.”
The gunman was armed with a rifle and reportedly asked onlookers whether the baseball practice was held by Republicans or Democrats before opening fire.
He was shot before being taken into custody.
