A kill list penned by James T. Hodgkinson, the shooter who opened fire on Republican congressmen in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday, was found in his pocket by the FBI.
The list mentions several congressmen who attended the baseball practice. The news of the list debunked a theory that the shooter had conducted a random outburst.

The list was written out on notepad paper and found in the shooter’s pocket, according to multiple sources with intimate knowledge of the situation. The list of names included Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan and Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, FBI officials confirm. Both Duncan and Brooks were in attendance at Wednesday’s baseball practice. h/t dennismichaellynch
None of the three offices from these congressmen would offer comments on the record when asked about the names on the list.
Brooks and Franks’ office further directed all inquiries to the Capitol police. They also have declined to comment.
The FBI’s Washington field office, which is handling the investigation, also provided no comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
