FBI reveals identity of 20-Year-Old Boy Behind Attempted Assassination Of Donald Trump
Investigators have revealed the identity of the suspect in Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, has been named as the individual who opened fire at the political rally.
According to authorities, Crooks was armed with a semi-automatic rifle and posed a significant threat to the former President and the attendees.
“The shooter has been tentatively identified, it’s a matter of doing biometric confirmations,” state police Lt. Col. George Bivens said.
In a statement, the FBI said: “The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the subject involved in the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump on July 13, in Butler, Pennsylvania. This remains an active and ongoing investigation, and anyone with information that may assist with the investigation is encouraged to submit photos or videos online at FBI.gov/butler or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.”
The swift action of a Secret Service sniper neutralized the threat, and Crooks was fatally shot at the scene.
The investigation into Crooks’ motives and background is ongoing. Authorities are working to determine whether he acted alone or had any connections to extremist groups.
“We do not currently have an identified motive,” said Kevin Rojek, FBI Pittsburgh special agent in charge, at a press briefing late Saturday night.
