Law enforcement officials have uncovered new details about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The shooter, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, had informed his employer that he needed the day off for 'something to do' and was seen at the security screening area for the rally carrying a rangefinder, a device used by hunters and target shooters to measure distances for long-range shots.
Despite passing through security with the rangefinder, Crooks attracted suspicion and was closely monitored by security personnel. Investigators believe that Crooks left the screening area to retrieve a rifle from his car.
