FBI says shooting of GOP lawmakers not an act of terrorism
A gunman acted alone when he shot and wounded a top House Republican and four other people on a northern Virginia baseball field, the FBI says.
Tim Slater, the special agent in charge of the Washington FBI office, also says during a news conference that James T. Hodgkinson did not have any ties to terrorism.
Rep. Steve Scalise, the House majority whip, was gravely wounded in the shooting last week. He has undergone several surgeries and remains hospitalized. His condition has been upgraded to serious.
