The shooter has been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks...
From NBC News
Law enforcement authorities have identified the man who made an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
The FBI said the shooter, who is dead, was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. A motive was not clear.
Bethel Park is a predominantly white, relatively well-to-do city in the southern reaches of greater Pittsburgh. The site of the rally, Butler, is about an hour’s drive north of Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania voter records listed a Thomas Matthew Crooks with the same address and birth date as a registered Republican.

I'm about to roll my eyes until they fall out the back of my head. Can't wait until the whole truth is revealed. This boy is a pawn and a martyr and I'm sure "they" convinced him he'd be doing this for the greater good to save 'Merica. Ain't no way this was a real attempt by this pimple faced YT. More smoke and mirrors, people.
1:15 exactly!
If someone attempted to assassinate my azz, and I get hit?! I’m hauling azz with my security, not stopping for a photo op. Trump legit was giving them a hard time trying to rescue his behind smh.
I can't wait to see how the MAGA's try to spin this. They were so quick to try to blame Biden and Democrats when it was one of their own.
@1:15 you really think the truth is going to be revealed?! Wow.
He looks like d**n Forest Gump.ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Something in the milk ain't clean. Another bullied young yt male with mental issues and a rifle. So he's incognito with heavy security everywhere and yet he's able to scale to the roof with a rifle and only grazes the ear....hmmmm. How much was he paid for this stunt? Funny how a man set himself on fire at the trump trial and now this. It's giving hoax.
This took too much strategy for this guy to pull off by himself.
FAKE FAKE FAKE, he was a pawn for Rump to look invincible.
MAGA Please, Give Us A Break!!!! So A 1st Class TRUMP Supporter Sh0t & Grazed TRUMP's Ear ~ When He Had A Birds-Eye Clear Sh0t To Take Him OUT.... HELL NAW!!!! The Truth Will Remain Hidden. TRUMP IS PURE DRAMA....
Another bullied kid that finally snapped. He was rejected from his high school Rifle Club because he sucked at target practice, much like he did at the assassination attempt. He hit 3 other people before he hit Trump, and the only reason Trump is alive is because he turned his head. A reporter has a pic of one of the bullets that hit a by stander, go just past Trump’s head the same time Trump turned to the side.
A week from now more will come out about the shooter but right now, according to other classmates, the kid was incessantly bullied on a daily basis. Maybe his tormentors are Trump followers?
1 :15, Amen.
@4:54 Totally correct! Anyone that had military training could have done a threat vulnerability assessment and noticed the high building made the stage area vulnerable. He is a former president...so no secret service spotted this prepubescent looking male scaling the building? Definitely feels like a set up drive a narrative to garner sympathy and make him appear strong.
Several things don't make any sense. 1. Why didn't that building have a SS security detail on it? 2. Why do they have women more than a foot shorter than Trump as his human shield? 3. How could they declare the shooter was down without knowing if there was more than one? 4. Why did they leave Trump's head wide open the entire time when JFK took two shots that way? 5. Who does a fist pump not knowing if more assailants were there? Everything was done wrong. I forgot some witness on t.v. said police and ss ignored him when he pointed to the man on the roof crawling. This is odd.
@1:24 Agree!
8:00 Great observations!
I guess they didn't get to take this shooter to burger King
9:16 they couldn’t leave him alive to talk. He was a loose end.
Violence begets violence. What about the folks that he sent to storm the capital on January 6? Thump is a thug among thugs...and as Iyanla Vanzant says: It's gonna cost you.
A day later and this still makes no sense!!! This makes Trumps protection team look inept.
The Secret Service are blaming the local police. One local cop climbed a ladder to the roof to confront the shooter and then went back down the ladder once the shooter turned his weapon on the cop. The police now a days don’t police anymore, just like Uvalde they just stand by and let the shootings happen.
If I'm a cop and not being paid Secret Service money then I'm not getting shot for an ex-president who don't like folks like me anyway.
Yt ppl get away with all kinds of illegal activities. If he was Black he wouldn't have gotten that close without being checked and double checked with a firearm.
Please. That boy didn't do anything. Trump cut his ear on the podium when he dropped to hide behind it. If they wanted him dead, secret service would have killed him a long time ago, like they killed Kennedy. This is an inside job. A warning to bow out, one of the old men is going to die before this is all over.
Kamala for the win!!
Karma - people think encouraging voilence against others won't come back on you........ it will.
DEFINATELY a publicity stunt! The Secret Service scratched that boy on the ear with a safety pin after he slowly laid down on the ground. A high powered rifle would not leave a tiny wound like that, his ear would have been removed. You tried it GOP!
