The gunman who opened fire on a GOP baseball team in Virginia had a local storage locker with more than 200 rounds of ammunition that he visited daily including less than an hour before he shot more than 60 times at the team during a morning practice June 14.

A list containing the names of six members of Congress also was found on the gunman, James T. Hodgkinson, 66, but FBI agent Timothy R. Slater of the Washington Field Office Criminal Division said he would not characterize it as a hit list.

The updates on the investigation of the attack that wounded five, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) came Wednesday with the FBI saying it still was not clear what motivated the unemployed home inspector from Illinois to travel to the Washington-area where he spent months living in his van in Alexandria before launching the shootings.

At a Wednesday press conference, officials gave more details about Hodgkinson calling him a desperate man who was unemployed, running out of money, taking prescription drugs, having anger management issues and in what the FBI was said a troubled marriage.
