From what's being reported on Fox News: Congressmen were out practicing for the Dem vs Rep baseball game that's supposedly coming up. Some dude walked up and asked several if they were Republicans. After a while, somebody started shooting.

The man suspected of opening fire at a congressional baseball practice has reportedly been identified as 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson ... and judging by his social media, he REALLY hates Donald Trump.

Hodgkinson's Facebook page is loaded with anti-Trump posts. He's also a staunch Bernie Sanders supporter.

Also notable, Hodgkinson is also anti-Hillary Clinton.

Among the posts on his page, there's one that stands out from March which says, "Trump is Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co."
