The Congressional Baseball Game Continues #baseball #charity

​It was a beautiful spring morning when James T. Hodgkinson of Belleview, Illinois took shelter and targeted Majority Whip Steve Scalise and others while they practiced for Thursday's Congressional Baseball Game, an annual charity event between #Republicans and #Democrats.

While family and friends huddled in dug outs as Hodgkinson strafed the field. Onlookers sought shelter in cars and even under them, as Hodgkinson was finally brought down and the encounter ended. When the rampage was over, five people were wounded.

James Hodgkinson was outspoken about his disdain for Trump Hodgkinson was highly critical of President Trump and other Republican leaders. His posts across social media were angry at the turn of the election and his online persona reflected an aggressive left leaning stance. In his home town he was known for his outbursts though he never crossed the line into violence. Hodgkinson had various run ins with the law though most were minor and included issues like domestic [VIDEO]abuse and discharge of firearms, almost all of which were dropped. Hodgkinson lived with his wife in Belleville, a suburb of St. Louis until six weeks ago. Hodgkinson was "distraught", his brother, Michael Hodgkinson recounted, over the election in November.
