U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks' name was on a list of assassination targets found on the body of James T. Hodgkinson - the suspect killed after wounding five people at a Republican congressional baseball practice Wednesday.

Speaking at a manufacturing conference in D.C., Ryan said he had just seen Scalise last Friday. He has undergone several surgeries and remains hospitalized.

O'Connor said Bost's office has turned over all of their communications from Hodgkinson to U.S. Capitol Police. Franks added that "it's clear that (the shooting) was premeditated", but he declined to confirm the existence of a possible list, citing the ongoing investigation.

The names on the list reportedly include Reps. Brooks and Franks' office further directed all inquiries to the Capitol police, who declined to comment.

CBN News contacted the offices of the acongressmen; however, staff say they can not make any further comments because it's an ongoing investigation.

The shooter who injured Scalise was identified last week as 66-year-old James Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois, who died of injuries received during a shootout with police on the scene.

The message from congressman Steve Scalise of Louisiana on Sunday says: "Steve's greatest joy is being a father to Madison and Harrison, and a husband to Jennifer".

Scalise had been upgraded to serious condition last Saturday, four days after he was shot in the hip by a gunman in Alexandria, Virginia.
