The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump on Saturday during his presidential campaign has been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
CityMirrorNews had earlier reported that Trump was shot during his campaign at Pennsylvania.
He was identified following the near death incident and one of his bullets at Bethel Park grazed the former President in the ear during an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh.
Sources told the news outlet that Crooks was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds.
Cooks was shot dead by Secret Service snipers and an AR-style rifle recovered from him.
Bethel Park is a village 40 miles south of where the Butler rally was held.
Meanwhile, it remains unclear as to why Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump, who is the presidential candidate of the Republican party.
