The American FBI has named Thomas Matthew Crooks as “the subject involved in the assassination attempt of Donald Trump”.
But then who was Thomas Matthew Crooks?
A voter-registration record showed that he was registered as a Republican! So it’s looking like an in-house act.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was the resident of Bethel Park in Pennsylvania. He appears to have graduated in 2022 from Bethel Park High School. He even received a $500 “star award” that year from the National Math and Science Initiative, according to The Tribune-Review in western Pennsylvania.
Thomas Crooks was armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. Multiple witnesses said they saw him before the shooting and alerted authorities.
Crooks was positioned on the roof of a building about 130 yards away from the stage where Donald Trump was addressing the rally.
Crooks was shot dead by the Secret Service officials after the attack on the 78-year-old former US President. Police said Crooks’ motive behind firing on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is unclear.
