The wife of the man authorities say shot Rep. Steve Scalise and three others at an Alexandria, Virginia, park Wednesday morning (June 15) told reporters she had no idea what her husband had planned and was sorry he did it, according to television stations in St. Louis and other news sources.

Outside her Belleville, Illinois, home, Suzanne Hodgkinson said Thursday afternoon she "couldn't believe it" when she learned her spouse, James T. Hodgkinson, was identified as the man who opened fire at a baseball practice for Republican members of Congress. Scalise, fielding ground balls at second base, was struck in the hip and is in critical condition after undergoing multiple surgeries at MedStar Washington Hospital Center.

Two Capitol Police officers at the park to provide security for Scalise fired back at James Hodgkinson, who later died at a hospital. The FBI said the 66-year-old home inspector had been living out a van near the park since March. They recovered a 7.62 caliber rifle and a 9 mm handgun, which they say Hodgkinson bought legally.

The three other shooting victims are recovering at Washington hospitals. Lobbyist Matt Mika was struck multiple times in the chest is in serious condition at George Washington University Hospital. Crystal Griner, one of the Capitol Police officers, was hit in the ankle and is in good condition at MedStar Washington. Zack Barth, a congressional aide, was shot in the calf, treated and released from a hospital.
