WOULD-BE LIBERAL KILLER STOPPED BY GOOD AMERICANS WITH GUNS
The man who shot House Republican Majority Whip Steve Scalise and multiple other people Wednesday morning is James T. Hodgkinson, according to multiple reports.
President Trump confirmed the shooter died due to wounds he received in a shootout with police. Law enforcement officials refused to confirm the identity of the shooter during a press conference Wednesday morning.
Hodgkinson, a 66-year-old from Belleville, Ill., was arrested after he shot Scalise and multiple other people at Simpson Park in Alexandria, Va.
According to his Facebook, Hodgkinson was a fan of Vermont. Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Scalise thanked Crystal Griner and David Bailey,
who fired back at the shooter even though they had also been injured.
“David, you are my hero, you saved my life. Thank you so much,” Scalise said, as representatives gave Bailey, who was in the audience, a standing ovation.
