    Shooter identified by law enforcement officials as James T. Hodgkinson
    The shooter at the GOP congressional baseball practice this morning is James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Ill., according to law enforcement officials. Hodgkinson, 66, owns a home inspection business, but his home inspection license expired in November 2016 and was not renewed, state records show.

    Hodgkinson was charged in April 2006 with battery and aiding damage to a motor vehicle, according to online records in St. Clair County, Ill. The charges were dismissed, records show.

    Acquaintance describes campaigning for Bernie Sanders with shooting suspect

    Charles Orear, 50, a restaurant manager from St. Louis, said in an interview Wednesday that he became friendly with James T. Hodgkinson, whom law enforcement officials identified as the shooter, during their work in Iowa on Sen. Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign. Orear said Hodgkinson was a passionate progressive and showed no signs of violence or malice toward others.

    “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Orear said when told by phone. “I met him on the Bernie trail in Iowa, worked with him in the Quad Cities area.”

    Orear described Hodgkinson as a “quiet guy” who was “very mellow, very reserved” when they stayed overnight at a Sanders’s supporter home in Rock Island, Ill., after canvassing for the senator.

    “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 Post reached out to Orear after seeing that he liked one of Hodkinson’s Facebook posts.

    A witness said that someone walked up to him and asked if they were Republicans or Democrats.

    He not only was a Bernie supporter, he volunteered on the campaign.

    This is what happens when the left and MSM sets the hate filled narrative, day after day, to take down a President and Republicans.

    It's good that the Police were there to respond. No doubt about that.

    Rand is being a little hyperbolic saying that everyone would have died. That is never the case. People always run or sometimes take down the shooter without firearms (baseball practice, hint, hint).

    40 shots and a bunch of misses is understandable. I was a good shot, but the first time I shot at a deer I had buck fever so bad my shaky hands made me cleanlymiss the deer with about 3 shots. It just stood there looking at me like I was an idiot and it was within 40 yards.

    Killing another man is much harder. I read a stat that in most prior wars the majority of combatants weren't aiming to kill their opponents.

    In the Marines they taught us to charge straight into an ambush for this reason. It's hharder to shooot a man facing you than shooting his back sometimes.

    They have poisoned all of society for their perceived political gains. Now we all pay the price.

    People have private security. Scalise is the majority whip and is always accompanied by armed officers.

    Newt Gingrich is saying this is just a wacko like the guy that shot Gabby Gifford. More than one talking head has made that comparison.

    Hate to break the bad news to them, the guy that shot Gifford was a true crazy person, as are the majority of mass shooters.

    This guy today appears to be a fully functional person who made a conscious decision to engage in political assassination. This is far more dangerous.

    He was armed. But his weapon only works at close range, and he was far away.

    So, has anyone explained how a cadre of trained federal bodyguards allows a guy carrying an assault rifle into the venue undetected? Or are we still getting nothing but Congress critters saying, 'Don't shoot us. We're really nice. We may be robbing y'all blind, but we don't know what we're doing, so don't shoot us.'
