James T. Hodgkinson, 66, of Belleville, Illinois, who allegedly attacked members of Congress on Wednesday morning at a baseball practice, had a history of violence even before his shooting rampage.
The Daily Beast cited a police report stating that Hodgkinson was arrested in 2006 for domestic battery and discharge of a firearm because he punched a man’s girlfriend “in the face with a closed fist.” Hodgkinson also aimed a shotgun at the man, firing one round.
