Law enforcement: Bomb-making materials found in vehicle and home of Trump rally shooting suspect

BUTLER, Pa. — On the heels of an apparent attempt to kill him, former President Donald Trump called Sunday for unity and resilience as shocked leaders across the political divide recoiled from the shooting that left him wounded but “fine” and the gunman and a rally-goer dead.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee said the upper part of his right ear was pierced in the shooting. His aides said he was in “great spirits” and doing well.

Law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that bomb-making materials were found inside the vehicle of the man suspected in the Trump rally shooting. There were also bomb-making materials found at his home. The two officials were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

Investigators believe the firearm Crooks used had been purchased by Crooks' father at least six months ago, two law enforcement officials said. Federal agents were still working to understand when and how his son obtained the gun and to gather additional information about Crooks, according to the officials, who were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

And they still could not find out whose cocaine it was in the White House.

On the flip side of this, anyone who shoots muzzleloading guns AND has some plumbing supplies can be said to have “bomb-making materials” in his home.

The term is so vague as to border on meaningless.

The SS and Feebs know perfectly well whose coke that was. They’re just lying.

Remember: “Law Enforcement”, at all levels, is both permitted and encouraged to lie to us.

Looks to be on a college campus - probably triggered by a Republican booth that had been set up.

Not denying he is the shooter.

Is almost like the FIBs had the shooter’s DNA profile on hand for quick verification.

Do you not understand this was the former and future POTUS case? As if it gets put at the bottom of the wait list. Let this sample be walked in by the FBI and it immediately gets put on the fast track. Even “You are the daddy” Maury show got tests back in 2 days. This isn’t the 1990s.

He ain’t no Republican either. That registration was just to vote for Nikki. Are they going to tell us he was going to vote for Trump in the general?

Easy enough to check.

Purchase the voter records for the county (not expensive) and look him up to see when he registered as a Republican, and what his voter history was - along with voter propensity.

He either registered in an attempt to skew the primary - or registered in an attempt to be less suspicious around Trump rallies.

What photos are you talking about? The close-up of his bloody head after he was killed? You don’t think a 20yo can look like that?

I think his climbing to the wide-open roof that should have been secured but wasn’t is quite the coinky-dink.

Quit trying to throw up a smokescreen.

Use your eyes and look at the photo of the dead assassin.

He looks older than 20 years.
