The gunman who shot Donald Trump last night is a 20-year-old registered Republican who donated to Joe Biden.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was shot dead by a US Secret Service sniper after he opened fire on the former President during a rally in Pennsylvania.
His father, Matthew Crooks, 53, told CNN he was trying to figure out 'what the hell is going on' but would 'wait until I talk to law enforcement' before speaking.
Crooks had fired at least eight bullets from a rooftop just 130 yards from where Trump, 78, was on stage in Butler speaking to thousands of fans at 6.15pm.
Law enforcement sources told CBS News that Crooks, from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, had been armed with 'an AR-style rifle'.
During the attack, he appeared to be wearing merchandise promoting one of YouTube's most popular channels devoted to firearms - Demolition Ranch - NBC News reported.
Special Agent Kevin Rojek, the FBI officer in charge, said Crooks had been identified using DNA as he was not carrying any ID on him.
State voter records show Crooks was a registered Republican. According to US media, when he was aged 17 he donated $15 to the liberal ActBlue political action committee on January 20, 2021 - Biden's Inauguration Day.
Last night a bomb squad and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were at an address registered to Crooks as cops stood guard in front of yellow police caution tape.
A member of the crowd was killed in the deadly shooting, while two others who were wounded are in a critical condition. All three are males, according to law enforcement officials.

What were they waiting for?? They had the guy in their sights and waited until after he started shooting...
One can buy a AR for under 400 dollars not much money now days.
Agreed, he does have that unhinged lefty appearance.
Poor demented kid. A product of our communist school system.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was shot dead by a US Secret Service sniper, so they knew he was there on the roof, just gave him the leeway he needed and then took him out
Why are we taking Deep State’s word for the identity and backround of the perp?
Just curious.
I am waiting for the schizophrenic and or bipolar claim
Registered repub that donated to act blue. I’m thinking he was only registered repub to vote against Trump in the primary.
Attempting to assassinate your opponent can’t be good for “our democracy”?

I believe that is exactly what happened.
20 years old so likely Tik-Tok Autism, medicated, smokes Weed, doom scrolling anti-Trump propaganda, 4-chan encouragement to commit the crime.
He was antifa:
Portland Black Bloc: Known for aggressive tactics during protests.
Seattle Antifa Collective: Coordinated anti-fascist actions across the Pacific Northwest.
New York City Antifa: Notorious for confrontations with far-right groups.
Los Angeles Antifa Network: Organized counter-protest against alt-right groups.
Chicago Anti-Racist Action: Dedicated to combating white supremacy in the Midwest.
No. They lie.Always.
If he shot a Dem. Rest assured the parents would be arrested.
THIS is a PERFECT description of the shooter BANK ON IT, 4 channel definitely involved they prey on people just like this shooter to carry out their dirty deeds, our government is utter SCUM, the utter rot has to go from the bottom up NOTHING at this point is salvageable NOTHING!!
Probably still vote in Nov. Pa is a battleground state after all.
Where’s the PICTURE of the KILLER???
