FBI Director Christopher Wray disclosed on Wednesday that the family of Thomas Crooks possessed over a dozen firearms in their Pennsylvania residence. Wray informed the House Judiciary Committee that the father, Matthew Crooks, legally sold his son the weapon used in the 20-year-old's attempted assassination of former President Trump.
Wray stated, 'We located a number of firearms associated with the shooter and his family, totaling 14 in the house.' The firearm employed in the assassination attempt was an AR-style rifle, purchased legally. Wray indicated, 'We believe, based on what we’ve seen, that his father, after purchasing the gun, legally sold the gun to his son.'
