The alleged gunman who shot Rep. Steve Scalise and others Wednesday made a negative post about the representative on his personal Facebook page in January 2015.

James T. Hodgkinson, the man believed to be the gunman at a baseball field in Alexandria, Va., Wednesday morning, posted to his personal Facebook page on Jan. 8, 2015 that “here’s a Republican that should Lose His Job, but they Gave Him a Raise.”

Scalise is currently undergoing surgery for wounds he received Wednesday morning but is reportedly in stable condition, according to his staff.

The Daily Caller confirmed that Hodgkinson died at 9:15 a.m. at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C.
