Here’s a recap of developments following yesterday’s attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
- About 10 minutes into former President Donald Trump’s campaign speech, shots rang out.
- The shooter was firing from an elevated position less than 400 feet away, clipping Trump in the ear after the former president jerked his head to the side at the last second.
- One spectator was killed and two others were critically injured.
- The suspect, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed.
- The gun Crooks used was reportedly purchased by his father.
- Authorities say Crooks had explosives in his car.
They also searched Crooks’ home and spoke with his family.
Crooks used a firearm that had been purchased by his father, according to people familiar with the investigation. Law enforcement officials have described it as an AR-style rifle, with which Crooks was able to fire multiple rounds from a rooftop before Secret Service snipers – who either through incompetence or worse allowed the shooter to reach his perch – fired back, killing him.
Law enforcement officials have not announced a motive. While Crooks was allegedly a registered Republican (let’s not forget that PA Democrats were encouraged to register as Republicans to primary Trump out), he also reportedly donated to ActBlue on Biden’s inauguration day.
