As WaPo notes, he has a prior record:
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. 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, Illinois. The charges were dismissed, records show.
This may be a clear example of what more than a year of vile, anti-Donald Trump propaganda pushed by the liberal media causes. This unstable liberal took matters into his own hands.
What a tragedy. God bless the Capitol police for taking swift action.
This is a breaking news story. We will have more details as they become available.
UPDATE – President Trump says that Hodgkinson died:

The question “What should the shooters punishment be” is comical considering that he is dead!
That comment was most likely made before he died.
It’s time the left be taken out for its Trump Derangement Syndrome…it’s hurting our nation, it’s hurting our people, and it’s hurting our national security. These people are mentally challenged and suffering from a mental disorder that must be treated immediately. This vile atrocity known as the left must be silenced…there are two ways….psychological treatment, or ….
It would appear that the Democrats can’t beat the Republicans at the polls, so shooting them is their next best option!
THIS INDIVIDUAL SHOULD BE CHARGED AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST??HE SHOULD NEVE AGAIN BE PERMITTED TO ENTER SOCIETY AGAIN.
“James T. Hodgkinson, the alleged shooter at a congressional baseball practice Tuesday, died at 9:15 AM at George Washington University Hospital, a source with knowledge of the situation told The Daily Caller.”
Considering that he’s dead, he won’t be charged with anything.
yes he is gary now no to trial and sentence to be appealed for 20-30 yrs
