- James Hodgkinson, a 66-year-old Illinois resident, fired over 70 rounds during the June 14, 2017 practice in Alexandria, Virginia, wounding five including Rep. Steve Scalise before dying in a police shootout.

- The findings imply the FBI failed to follow proper procedures, prompting calls to restore trust in the agency and conduct a review of investigative lapses and bias within the intelligence community.
