FBI Identifies Gunman Involved in Trump Assassination Attempt

The FBI identified the gunman who fired shots in what the FBI called an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

The 🔫Shooting occurred at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, resulting in one attendee dead and two critically injured, according to Secret Service.

The former president was also hit by a bullet on his ear.

The FBI identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the shooter. Secret Service agents killed Crooks at the scene.

CNN reports that Crooks was registered to vote as a Republican, citing a voter database, and “federal Election Commission records show that a donor listed as Thomas Crooks with the same address gave $15 to a Democratic-aligned political action committee called the Progressive Turnout Project in January 2021.”

The gunman was located on a rooftop outside of the venue.
