The FBI has reported that the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump acted alone, with no evidence of a conspiracy, but his motive remains unknown. The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, had researched events involving both Trump and President Joe Biden, as well as information about explosives over the past five years. Crooks targeted a Pennsylvania campaign rally where he opened fire on Trump last month, viewing it as a "target of opportunity." Despite conducting nearly 1,000 interviews, investigators have not yet determined why Crooks chose to attack Trump, though they confirm he had planned the attack extensively.
