Thomas Matthew Crooks was the gunman who opened fire on Donald Trump yesterday at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, wounding the former president and two others and killing a bystander.
The FBI named Crooks, a 20-year-old resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, about an hour ago.
Biographical details about Crooks are already beginning to emerge and be reported by the mainstream media.
Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022.
He was apparently registered to vote as a Republican, but Election Commission records show that a donor with the same name and address gave $15 to a Democrat PAC called Progressive Turnout Project in 2021.
Crooks’ father told CNN that he was still trying to understand “what the hell is going on,” and would reserve comment “until I talk to law enforcement.”
Trolls are already muddying the waters with false information, including a Twitter user called @jewgazing, who has posted a video claiming to be Thomas Matthew Crooks. Photos of the user are now being circulated on social media as real photographs of the would-be assassin.
