The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the individual responsible for the attempted assassination of former President Trump at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania. The incident occurred during a rally where Crooks shot Trump from a rooftop perch approximately 130 yards away, hitting the upper part of Trump's right ear while he was addressing rally attendees.
Tragically, one attendee was killed, and two others were injured during the attack. Crooks was subsequently shot dead at the scene. The victims have not yet been publicly identified, and the FBI has confirmed that the investigation into the incident is ongoing.
