The suspect is then captured on security footage jumping off the roof of the alleged shooting location,\u201d said Congressman Scott Fitzgerald. \u201cI think for members of Congress, especially after Butler, Pennsylvania, it\u2019s just unimaginable that there could be some type of security breakdown prior to an event of that size where somebody could access a rooftop.\u201d\n\nCongressman Fitzgerald also questioned FBI Director Patel about whether or not the shooter acted alone.\n\n\u201cPublic reports have suggested the shooter acted alone. But given the discovery of Discord messages and text messages between the shooter and his boyfriend, the public deserves answers,\u201d said Congressman Scott Fitzgerald. \u201cI'm sure the FBI will continue to investigate fully and thoroughly. I raise this concern because I\u2019m not convinced that was the case in Butler, Pennsylvania.\u201d\n\nWatch Congressman Fitzgerald\u2019s full questioning of FBI Director Patel:\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://fitzgerald.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-fitzgerald-questions-fbi-director-kash-patel-charlie-kirks-assassination"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8157878182828426, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
