A 20-year-old Bethel Park, Pennsylvania resident was identified Sunday as the gunman who opened fire at former President Donald Trump injuring him and killing a spectator.
Thomas Matthew Crooks fired at least eight shots from a rooftop 130 yards from the stage where Trump was addressing thousands of his supporters in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump was struck in the right ear and was seen holding his injury as blood poured down his face.
The former President was surrounded by Secret Service agents and ushered away from the scene as he shouted, raising his fist: “Fight, Fight, Fight.”
Crooks was killed after gunning down an attendee of the rally and wounding two others.
The gunman was a registered Republican who once donated $15 to the liberal ActBlue political action committee on Biden’s Inauguration day.
The 2022 Bethel Park High School graduate had no criminal history. Crooks reportedly received a “star award” from the National Math and Science Initiative in western Pennsylvania.
