On June 14, 2017, a team of Republican lawmakers went to an athletic field in Alexandria, Virginia to practice for the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity. As they worked out, a man armed with a semi-automatic rifle and pistol approached and opened fire. Representative Steve Scalise, the House Republican whip, was gravely wounded. A lobbyist was also seriously hurt, and a congressional aide and Capitol Police officer were wounded, as well. The shooter, James Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois, was an active Bernie Sanders supporter who hated Republicans and particularly hated then-President Donald Trump. "Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co.," Hodgkinson posted on his Facebook page. He thought of himself as part of the Resistance. He joined Facebook groups like "Terminate The Republican Party" and "Join The Resistance Worldwide!!"
