Perpetrator Profile
U.S. law enforcement has the name of a sniper who attempted the assassination of Trump in the middle of his campaign in Pennsylvania. The name was released on Saturday night local time.
Federal Bureau of Investigation said the shooter was Thomas Matthew Crooks. He's 20 years old and lives about 35 miles from the shooting site.

"This investigation is still active and sustainable, and whoever has information that can help the investigation is driven to transmit photos or videos online."
Crooks himself was taken down to death by the U.S. President's security force, Secret Service, just after committing his own act.
In the search for CNN International, Crooks was listed as Republican. But the Federal Election Commission records show there's a donor with the same name and address giving the US$ 15 (Rp 241 thousand) to the political committee siding with Democrats in January 2021.
After the shooting, Crooks' father, Matthew Crooks, said he'd find out what really happened. His subjects will discuss with law enforcement before going public.
FBI special agent in Pittsburgh, Kevin Rojek, called it a DNA test to reassess the sniper's identity. The base, when it went down, the Crooks didn't have any ID.
