Sickened at shooting attack by possible supporter: Sanders

When pressed, Sue Hodgkinson said she didn't want to discuss her husband's politics.

Though out Wednesday, police, sheriff's deputies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and ATF agents searched his home. Sanders says the man authorities identified as opening fire on the practice had apparently volunteered on his presidential campaign.

They said he pretty much kept to himself but was nice, he would wave when people passed by and invite everyone to his Halloween party.

Dozens of reporters have been stationed outside Hodgkinson's two-storey house on the outskirts of Belleville since he was first named in media reports on Wednesday morning. She told reporters she feels "horrible". "The problem is the utility of them, because they give us so many false positives", said Bongardt, who now heads The Gyges Group, a security firm.

In 2006, he charged into a neighbor's home where the foster daughter was hanging out with a friend, then-19-year-old Aimee Moreland, and smacked the pal in the face "with a closed fist", according to the Daily Beast.

"I know he wasn't happy with the way things were going, the election results and stuff", Michael Hodgkinson told the New York Times.

"I am sickened by this despicable act", Bernie Sanders said.

On Wednesday, Senator Sanders publicly acknowledged that Hodgkinson had volunteered for his presidential campaign previous year, but he denounced the violence as "despicable".

On Thursday, at least a few of those who jumped to blame the other side pared back their words, including Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., who the day before called out Democrats for "fueling the fire" of the shooter.

Indeed, it is only by virtue of Falcinelli’s prowess in the final third that Crotone still remains in contention to survive. In Romelu Lukaku, Koeman has a player with the capability of firing Everton to far headier heights than seventh place.

"They're desperate to find an opening to try to discredit the Sanders movement", she said.

Besides Scalise, the shooter also wounded Capitol Police officer Crystal Griner, along with a congressional aide and a lobbyist. Hodgkinson rarely joined in the political discussions often set off by the television in the room and never showed any signs that he was troubled, Euille said.

He "was treated and released having sustained a minor injury during the incident", Capitol Police said in a statement. Let's listen to a clip of what she said. And the county that I'm in right now, St. Clair County, is politically purple.

"There's just no way that I would have guessed that this guy would be shooting at law enforcement and a congressman", said Brennwald, an attorney. When he went outside, he saw Hodgkinson shooting a rifle into a cornfield. He was squeezing off five or six rounds at a time and, according to the report, fired about 50 shots in all.

When Hodgkinson refused to stop, Schaumleffel called the sheriff's department.

"I've had enough", she said.

The office of Republican Rep. Mike Bost, whose district includes Belleville, said it had a record of 10 contacts with Hodgkinson between June 2016 and last month.

Acquaintances described him as stubborn and opinionated, but they were also shocked to hear Wednesday's news.
