The FBI has revealed more details about the shooting at a Donald Trump rally in Pennsylvania, confirming it was in fact an assassination attempt on Trump himself.
Though not initially revealing the shooter’s identity in a late-night press conference Saturday, the FBI later identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks as the “subject involved,” according to Reuters. The Associated Press also cited the name. Records reported by AP and seen by The Daily Beast show a person, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, registered as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania.
“Tonight we had what we’re calling an assassination attempt on our former President Donald Trump,” Kevin Rojek, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Pittsburgh field office, said at the press conference.
