FBI Identifies Trump Rally Shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks

State voter records show that Crooks was a registered Republican

Authorities have identified the gunman involved in the attack against former President Donald Trump on Saturday as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene after the shooting. State voter records show that Crooks was a registered Republican.

The FBI named Crooks in a statement early Sunday morning, identifying him as a resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania – about 35 miles south of Butler, where Trump was holding his rally.

Crooks fired on Trump while perched on a nearby building rooftop outside the rally's security perimeter, before being killed by the Secret Service, according to law enforcement officials.
