The FBI released more details about Thomas Crooks, the man who shot Donald Trump, killed Corey Comperatore, and injured James Copenhaver, 74, and David Dutch, 57.
The agency showed pictures of the shooter’s firearm and explosives in his car trunk.
The last picture is the AC unit the shooter used to access the roof.
But still, no motive, even though the agency said a search of the shooter’s “online search history, as well as his specific online activity, has provided us valuable insight into his mindset.”
“At this time, the FBI has not identified a motive nor any co-conspirators or associates of Crooks with advance knowledge of the attack,” said Robert Wells, executive assistant director of the FBI’s National Security Branch. “And I want to be clear: We have not seen any indication to suggest Crooks was directed by a foreign entity to conduct the attack. As always, we will continue to follow all logical investigative steps in this ongoing investigation and have not ruled anything out at this time.”
Kevin Rojek, the special agent in charge of the FBI Pittsburgh Field Office, said an account linked to the shooter has been researching Trump’s “campaign schedule and upcoming appearances in Pennsylvania” since September 2023.
