The US authorities have confirmed that the gunman who attacked former President Trump on Saturday was 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Crooks graduated from Bessel Park High School in 2022. A list in the Pennsylvania voter database shows that he was registered to vote as a Republican, matching his name, age, and an Address in Bessel Park. Law enforcement was searching the Address on Saturday night, which is linked to Crooks' public records. This year's presidential election will be his first eligible to vote. Federal Election Commission records show a donor named Thomas Crooks donated $15 to a Democratic political action committee called the "Progressive Vote Project" in January 2021. Crooks' father said in an interview that he is trying to figure out "what exactly happened," but will "wait until I talk to law enforcement" before discussing his son.
