James T. Hodgkinson was identified as the shooter in Alexandria Virginia. He’s from Belleville, Illinois, where worked from home.
According to multiple reports, he worked for himself as a home inspector, although he seems to have stopped working in that business rather recently.
He was licensed to perform home inspections for decades, although not consistently. According to The Belleville News and his Facebook, he and a license in the late 1990s, as well as from 2003-2018. It is not clear if he lost the license, or if it just expired.

He used to be in construction or the building trades, and then he went into home inspections. He had been doing home inspections for several years,” she said.
There was nothing about Hodgkinson that would have pointed to Wednesday’s events.
“From a business standpoint, he did not seem like he is a radical — opinionated but not a radical,” Brennan said. “He wasn’t obnoxious, he wasn’t problematic. When he did home inspections for me he didn’t rile up the buyers or make ridiculous statements.
