WASHINGTON - The man who shot Donald Trump during the campaign was already known and named by the FBI, Thomas Matthew Crooks. Crooks allegedly opened fire when the former US President addressed the crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania. As a result, one spectator was killed and two others seriously injured.
"Crooks is a 20-year-old man and has been shot dead at the scene by a Secret Service sniper," officials said as quoted by VOI from the BBC, Sunday, July 14.
In a statement, the FBI said Crooks was an 'involved object' in the assassination attempt of the former president and an active investigation is underway.
"He didn't bring his identity, so investigators used DNA to identify him," an FBI spokesman said.
