US law enforcement officials released the name of Donald Trump’s suspected shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, late Saturday.

The man identified as the shooter in the apparent assassination attempt of former president Donald Trump was a 20-year-old from a Pittsburgh suburb not far from the campaign rally where one attendee was killed.
