Washington (AFP) - James T. Hodgkinson, the rifle-toting 66-year-old who opened fire on Republican lawmakers practicing for a baseball game Wednesday, was a fervent fan of leftist Senator Bernie Sanders and angered by the policies of President Donald Trump.
He showed no previous signs of violent extremism and his attack shocked people who knew him as "Hodges" -- a popular, "laid-back" blue-collar worker in his hometown of Belleville, Illinois.
But over the years, he has also had a number of scrapes with local police, including in March -- apparently just before he moved to the Washington area -- when neighbors complained that he had fired about 50 shots from a hunting rifle into nearby trees.
Hodgkinson died following a shootout with police on a baseball diamond in the Washington suburb of Alexandria, after his early-morning rifle and pistol attack left four people with gunshot wounds and two others with minor injuries.
Steve Scalise, the third-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, was in critical condition after surgery for a bullet wound to the hip.
Stocky, with graying hair and a well-trimmed mustache-goatee combination, Hodgkinson was a strong critic of Trump's administration and the Republican-controlled Congress.
Calling himself a democratic socialist on his Facebook page, he bashed Republicans for their health care and pro-rich policies, arguing for much higher taxes for the wealthiest Americans. He also branded Trump a "traitor."
"Trump has destroyed our Democracy. It's Time to destroy Trump & CO," he posted recently on Facebook with a Change.org petition against the president.
