The FBI has confirmed the identity of the individual who attempted to assassinate former U.S. President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The FBI announced earlier on Sunday that it has “tentatively identified” the individual who attempted to assassinate former U.S. President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“At this time, we are not prepared to identify who the shooter is. Uh, we are close to that identification, and as soon as we are 100% confident in who that individual is, we will share it with the press. With that being said, also, we do not currently have an identified motive. Although our investigators are working tirelessly to attempt to identify what that motive was at this time,” said Kevin Rojek, FBI special agent in charge in Pittsburgh.
Hours after the press conference, the FBI released the suspect’s identity. He has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
“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.”
A photo of the shooter after he was shot is also going viral on social media. For those who wish to see the graphic image, you can view it here.
