Footage Of Thomas Matthew Crooks Allegedly Shooting At Donald Trump Surfaces

Law enforcement authorities have identified the man who made an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

 

Check out the video below.

 

The FBI said the shooter, who is dead, was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. A motive was not clear.

Thomas Matthew Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022. Crooks received the National Math & Science Initiative Star Award for academic achievement.

Here’s footage of him accepting his diploma at commencement.

 

 

The gunman was immediately “neutralized” by the Secret Service, chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi said.

Bethel Park is a predominantly white, relatively well-to-do city in the southern reaches of greater Pittsburgh. The site of the rally, Butler, is about an hour’s drive north of Pittsburgh.

Pennsylvania voter records listed a Thomas Matthew Crooks with the same address and birth date as a registered Republican, though it was not clear from the records when that was put in place.

At a news conference Saturday night, law enforcement said the investigation was close to making a positive identification of the shooter, who did not have identification on him, state police Lt. Col. George Bivens said.

“The shooter has been tentatively identified,” he said. “It’s a matter of doing biometric confirmations.”
