The FBI identified the Trump shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who lived in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, regarding 35 miles south of the rally site and was killed at the scene by Secret Service agents.
According to the American network, public records showed that Crooks was registered to vote as a Republican, but he made a small donation to a group allied with Democrats in 2021.
NBC News reported that photos from the scene show that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspect in the shooting of Trump, was wearing a T-shirt bearing the logo of one of the most popular YouTube channels dedicated to firearms.
On the other hand, American media reported that Thomas Crooks has no criminal past and the authorities have not yet determined the motive for his attempted assassination of Trump.
Trump was subjected to an assassination attempt while he was speaking at an election rally in Pennsylvania. A video clip documented the moment of the assassination attempt on Trump moments following he took the stage during an election rally in Pennsylvania, where the Secret Service escorted him away with blood pouring from the side of his face.
Trump confirmed on social media that he was shot in the “upper part of his right ear.”
Pennsylvania police said one person was killed in the incident and two others were seriously injured.
Multiple federal agencies are currently involved in the investigation, and law enforcement officials say the shooting is being investigated as a possible assassination attempt.
President Joe Biden spoke with Trump following the shooting. Biden earlier said he was grateful Trump was safe. Biden condemned the shooting and called for unity in the country, saying, “There is no place in America for this kind of violence.” Biden returned to the White House early from Delaware to continue his update on the shooting.
