he gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post.
Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh.
Sources said Crooks was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds.

Sorry. Please delete.
He looks exactly as you’d expect, ugly both on the inside and the outside
Girly “man” at best, trannie at worst.
Needed a rifle to compensate.
Three names, again
Let’s just call him The Patsy
.
Did you catch what they said at the worthless Press Conference?
They wouldn’t answer crap, but they said it will be a L-O-N-G in investigation.
That was what they wanted to convey.
Has he disappeared from the Internet yet?
Patsy a la Oswald - yes .
This is what self-centeredness can do to a person.
SS was NOT AVAILABLE to be at the press conference. Any guesses as to why? Seems odd.
Where do you see a photo of him?
.
Going by tonight, seems like they’re going to blame Trump.
We can’t secure these locations. They couldn’t secure the closest, most obvious Building!
There was barely any Fed representation at that Presser. Huge deviation from the standard.
The Presser was in serious cover-up mode.
Just proves what I always say. Dems are a bunch of Crooks.
Most Americans have three names. I suspect all three names are reported in order to give innocent people with the same first and last name a break from idiots who might harass them.
I thought it was some guy named Mark Violets.
Amazing. If this was against the Rats he would already be described as a right winged activist. Nothing is mentioned about political leanings, but would not be surprised to see him identified as a never Trumper. And any manifesto will not be released (if at all) until after the election.
I think the biggest question here is How long did the Secret Service have this guy in their sights before firing at him ?
Watching the video as it happened you hear what seems like Five shots which is what the redheaded witness said, then three shots a second later, I assume those three shots killed the shooter. If that second group of three shots killed the shooter he had to have been in their sights already, it was an instant response without the time required to acquire a target. If that’s correct the Secret Service waited for him to shoot first! Allowing him to make his attempt at killing President Trump.
I read it exactly as you do.
