The Federal Bureau of Investigation has identified the gunman who shot at former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally Saturday as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
The alleged shooter was killed by law enforcement officials after he fired an AR-15-type semiautomatic rifle, killing one spectator and wounding others. Trump was injured in a volley of gunfire at 6:15 p.m. from an “elevated position” outside the rally’s venue, according to the US Secret Service, though his campaign has since said he is “fine.”
