Trump rally shooter identified by FBI

The FBI identified twenty-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks as the person responsible for shooting at former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania Saturday evening. 

Crooks — a registered Republican — shot off several rounds from a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle while perched on the roof of a building just outside the security perimeter, causing the presumptive GOP nominee’s upper ear to be wounded. Secret Service agents killed Crooks at the scene, according to law enforcement officials.
