Scalise, GOP lawmakers demand probe of FBI designation of congressional baseball shooting as 'suicide by cop'
Fox News
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and other GOP lawmakers asked FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday to further investigate the 2017 congressional baseball practice shooting and determine why agents originally concluded it was case of “suicide by cop” rather than an act of domestic terrorism.
"We fear that the FBI’s inability or unwillingness to fully investigate this shooting as a matter of domestic extremism four years ago leaves a blind spot within the Bureau in fully assessing risks we face today," the letter says. "The FBI telling us that James Hodgkinson’s attempt to assassinate dozens of members of Congress was simply ‘suicide by cop’ does nothing to alleviate this concern." While the FBI did not publicly disclose its conclusion, officials told GOP lawmakers at a November 2017 briefing that the shooting was designated a "suicide by cop." Wray was not serving as FBI director at the time of the briefing. Scalise and other survivors say the shooting was a targeted attack based on political motivations.More Related News
