Meanwhile, FBI officials said leftist gunman James Hodgkinson had more than 200 rounds of ammunition at a local storage unit when he attacked Republican lawmakers as they practiced for the annual Congressional baseball game.

Timothy Slater, special agent in charge of the FBI Washington field office, said Hodgkinson, 66, had rented a storage unit in Alexandria started April 16, which he visited more than 43 times between April and June.

Also, Hodgkinson visited the office of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in mid-April and emailed Senators Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., sometime between January 2017 and the shooting last week, the FBI said without elaborating.

“Sounds like he was planning on completing his list of people he wanted to kill.”

He wasn’t SMART enough to complete his list.

He would have done more damage with a 30.06 bolt action hunting rifle and the ability to shoot from distance.

Not a whole lot if you are a recreational shooter.

200 rounds is walking-around quantity.

There is a surveillance lesson in this:

"had rented a storage unit in Alexandria started April 16, which he visited more than 43 times between April and June."

Every time he opened the storage unit gate, it was logged and or photographed.

In addition to the ammunition, investigators found a laptop computer, a receipt for a November 2016 gun purchase and additional SKS rifle components. Hodgkinson, from Belleville, Ill., used an SKS 7.62mm caliber rifle and a 9mm handgun during the shooting at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park on June 14.

“(Hodgkinson) fired over 60 shots, 50 of those shots were from the SKS rifle,” Slater said, adding it didn’t appear that Hodgkinson had a particular target in mind and it was a spontaneous shooting.

He said the 9mm handgun was purchased after the election of President Donald Trump in November 2016. In Bellville, police were reportedly called to Hodgkinson’s home......................from the link.

Is ammo dangerous when it’s in storage? Glad mine is all here at home.

Four 50-round boxes is target practice.
