Five people were wounded during the attack, including the House Majority Whip and two U.S. Capitol Police special agents who were part of his security detail. Hodgkinson was shot by responding officers and later died of his injuries.

He drove from Belleville, IL to Alexandria, VA, where he was living out of his van prior to the attack.
