this is congressman rodney davis. you represent the 13th district of illinois, central and southwestern illinois. tell us what happened? you were actually at bat when this happened? >> i was batting. we heard a loud noise and felt like a construction site and somebody dropped a big piece of metal and someone on the field yelling run, he's got a gun. i ran into the dugout like most people on the field. >> the first base side dugout. and eventually worked my way out of the dugout and i got to witness the heroism of the capitol police that were there and it was part of steve scalise's detail. if they wouldn't have been there this would have been a massacre of innocent people. >> they were only there because steve scalise is on the team. >> ironically. my thoughts and prayers go out to steve scalise and the former staffers who were shot and the capitol police who were shot. >> how long do you think you were hunkered down in the first base dugout. i wasn't there long because i was on top of a couple of people and i didn't

those capitol policemen are heros. >> testimony from rodney davis. detailing his experience and his conversation with his family back home in illinois. new details on the shooter. catherine herridge is live in washington to fill us in on what she's learning this hour. good afternoon, catherine. >> thank you, bill. the "new york times" interviewing the suspect's brother. the 66-year-old was upset over the election of president trump. telling the newspaper that he had gone to washington d.c. in the last few weeks to protest. this account appears to be consistent with that of a neighbor reporting that they had not seen hodgkinson in months though his wife is still at the family home in illinois. the fbi, the lead investigative body, is at his home at this hour in bellville with a man that identifies as a friend describing hodgkinson. >> he was in a few fights and stuff like that. nothing that would demonstrate violence as far as what he did. >> what do you mean by that? fights with people? >> he never backed down from anybody. in a bar fight or whatever

listen to this impassioned plea from illinois congressman rodney davis, still bloodied after helpingictims at the scene. >> there's such a hatefulness in what we see in american politics and policy discussions right now. this has got to stop. we can disagree on how to govern. that's what makes our country great, but i'm here because we're all americans. and i think republicans and democrats need to use this day today to stand together and say, stop, let's work together, let's get things done. we can have our differences, but let's not let it lead to such hate. >> here's cnn's phil mattingly with more on the reaction from capitol hill. >> reporter: dave and christine, stunned is really probably the only way you could describe lawmakers throughout the course of the day in the wake of this shooting. numb, some of them would also say. they were so shocked, so taken aback by what had actually occurred, what had happened to one of their colleagues. one of the interesting elements, though, is watching the parties actually come together in the wake of this. the speaker of the house, paul rya

congressman rodney davis and his wife spoke with me earlier this morning and the wife told me it was the worst phone call she has ever received in her life. so we'll have that for you. >>> also ahead, more breaking news. the jury in the bill cosby criminal case still day four deadlocked and the judge has ordered them to keep deliberating. i'm brooke baldwin live here on capitol hill. you're watching cnn special live coverage. so when i got my ancestry dna results it was a shocker. i'm from all nations. it puts a hunger in your heart to want to know more. hi..and i know that we have phonaccident forgiveness.gent, so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight- four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. ♪ sometimes you want to ♪go. ♪ ♪ where everybody knows your name, ♪ ♪ and they're always glad you came. ♪ ♪ you wanna be where you can see, ♪ ♪ our troubles are all the same. ♪ ♪ you wanna be where everybody knows ♪ ♪ your name. a lower a1c is a lot witabout choi

i think our viewers figured out you weren't rodney davis. the bottom corner of the screen, we're looking at energy secretary rick perry who gesticulates an awful lot like me. it indicates the president will show up soon. given the day we've had, i'll have to switch over to that. this tweet did derail us. i got up this morning hoping it wouldn't. hoping something else would happen. it would be corrected. wasn't true the president said he was hacked. but that's not what happened. he sent these two tweets. he said i heard poorly rated morning joe speaks badly of me. then how come mika with psycho joe came to mar-a-lago. >> mostly, he is again squandering the opportunity to govern. squandering the opportunity to lead. this distracted everyone. that's all anyone was talking about. when in fact we have this moment to open the door and start negotiations, to actually do something to improve and lower costs for all americans. he's been leading this effort that has been going nowhere with republican senators dropping like flies because of the extreme

first rodney davis was on the field when that shooting occurred. how are you, four days after the attack, how are you doing? >> representative davis: it's still pretty surreal. i can tell you that this is the best father's day i've ever had to be able to come back home and see the outpouring of care and support from the people that know me best, including my family, it's been a really humbling event and very memorable for me and my family. >> chris: have you gotten over it in an emotional sense or are you still in shock? >> representative davis: people tell you how you are supposed to feel, but it never seems that you do. i still sense normalcy, there are times when i'm probably a little more agitated, there are things i will do differently in my life and in my workplace to ensure that we probably put security up more as a priority than we have in the past, and it's a sad state to be and when you woke up a few days ago, got in the car, went to a baseball field to practice for a charity game in the next thing you know bullets are flying. >> chris: i

. >> rodney davis who was at-bat told kasie hunt yesterday, it's time to put political differences asidehis rhetoric we see in today's society over policy differences has got to stop because if this is the reason why members of congress were shot at today, then today has to be the breaking point for both parties to say enough's enough. let's not ratchet up the hateful speech. you see stories about policies are going to lead to the death of people. that's addition that's political rhetoric that has run amuck and turned into hate. it may be the reason why we saw the senseless tragedy we saw today. if it is, this could be the first political rhetorical terrorist act we've seen on our soil. we can change that. only we can change that as americans. >> some wasted little time before blaming anti-trump rhetoric, particularly from the left, for the shooting and donald jr. shared a speech from a commentator which compares is to cesar. >>> newt gingrich was more blunt in his blame for the shooting. take a listen to this. >> you've had an increasing intensity of hostility on the left. the intensity

earlier today on fox news, illinois republican congressman rodney davis, who was at the practice, said the political discourse in the united states has got to cool off. >> there are innocent people in that park every day. we watch them walk their dogs, take dogs to the dog park, there were children on the field with us in the dugout. this political rhetoric, this political rhetoric and political discourse that has led to hate, led to gunfire. i never thought i'd go to baseball practice for charity and have to dodge bullets. this has to stop and stop today. adam: let's dive deeper into what is actually transpired over the last 14 hours, i want to let the audience know, that high-pitched whistle you hear is an alarm at the russell rotunda on capitol hill. the authorities are trying to get the doors shut. that's causing the alarm to go off. what about the man responsible for the shootings, james hodgkinson. we're told he was a home inspector from southern illinois. wh else is there tbeen h? jeff flock has more on the suspected shooter and joins us now, jeff? >> reporter: good evening to y

congressman rodney davis was actually hitting. fellow by the name of will fats and from the tennessee valley, was picking on the moun mount. all of a sudden, i hear this loud explosion, bang. first i thought it was a car back fire or something of that nature. turned around and i saw the gun. it was a rifle. i saw the barrel. it was pretty close to the chain-link fence, shooting through the holes of the chain-link fence at the time. the shooter was aiming toward shortstop, second base, right field. it occurred to me that if i could see him, he could see me, if he shifted his focus a little but to his rights. that prompted me to realize i was not -- i had a baseball bat. that wouldn't be very good against a rifle. i needed to find some kind of cover, so come i ran around the batting cage and face first inte ground on the first base side of the batting cage, where he couldn't see me but all i had was a plastic shield around the bottom of the batting cage that was preventing them from seeing me. >> tucker: how long did this go on? >>

>> right, first and foremost, i know rodney davis, we both worked for congressman shimkus, he is an honestthis isn't political for him. i understand what has happened it our society and i'll be honest, political pundits are in part to blame, we ratchet up things because there's a fierce battle who can have the best sound bite. we are to blame because the american people see us, but at the same time, it's a need i think for everyone across every aisle, spectra, media and everyone else to calm it down and get to a place where we can work together. liz: i understand about the moral agency, i understand what you're saying about the moral agency of political rhetoric. again, the focus should be on the shooter. the shooter said here's a republican that should lose his job in reference to steve scalise. this is the shooter posting this on facebook. here's a republican that should lose his job. he said that in 2015. >> if i can answer that quickly. you are absolutely right. not democrat or republican and may not be rhetoric, that might be incidental to the fact that this individual is crazed. ther
