The FBI announced that it is not yet ready to disclose the identity of the shooter aimed at presidential candidate Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, stating, "We have not yet determined the motives for the shooting." Unnamed sources disclosed that the bureau identified the suspect who allegedly opened fire, according to a CNN reporter on the platform X. The reporter added that the deceased suspect is a 20-year-old from Pennsylvania.
However, an initial image of him circulated widely. Trump was injured in the ear after the shooting and was hospitalized for treatment, subsequently released in good health. Moreover, U.S. media have reported that the perpetrator has been identified as Thomas Mathew Crooks. They noted that Crooks is 20 years old and is from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, which is about 40 miles south of Butler's gathering. According to reports, an AR-15 was found at the scene. It was also pointed out that Crooks apparently suffered a gunshot wound to the head after attempting to target the former president.
