The man who allegedly opened fire at a congressional baseball practice in Virginia has been identified as James T. Hodgkinson.
In a news conference, President Donald Trump confirms that the assailant in the shooting is now dead.
Hodgkinson was a 66-year-old man from Belleville, Illinois, which is in the southern part of the state near St. Louis. He was a small business owner in Illinois who defined himself publicly by his firm support of Bernie Sanders and his hatred of President Donald Trump.
