Bernie Sanders condemns ‘despicable’ shooting, says shooter may have volunteered on his campaign

AP reports that Sen. Bernie Sanders is responding to the Virginia shooting.

Amid reports that the shooter, James T. Hodgkinson, 66, is a supporter of Sanders, the senator says he is “sickened by this despicable act.”

He says the shooter apparently volunteered on his Democratic primary campaign last year, AP says.

Police and FBI are refusing to offer a motive for the shooting, but the shooter’s social media profile suggests he may have harbored extreme antipathy to the Trump administration and Republicans.
