The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, as the gunman who fired multiple shots with an AR-style rifle in a failed assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. The agency used biometric data to confirm Crooks was the would-be killer.
Crooks apparently fired from a rooftop about 130 yards from his target, hitting the former president Trump in his right ear. Crooks was immediately “neutralized” by the Secret Service, according to the FBI.
