Donald Trump’s Shooter, Thomas Crooks‘s terrifying statement that Matthew Crooks posted online over the weekend alluded to his dark intentions for the day he shot up the former president’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The 20-year-old gunman is said to have posted, “July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds,” on the well-known online gaming community Steam, according to Fox News.
During a briefing with top law enforcement officials on Wednesday, the foreboding message was disclosed to US lawmakers.
Thomas Crooks’s cellphone details revealed
On his cellphone, Crooks, 20, also had pictures of President Biden and the Republican presidential contender. He also looked up the dates of Trump’s Pennsylvania speech and the Democratic National Convention.
While searching for information on the attempted assassination, investigators are going through the gunman’s computers and phones; they have not yet determined a motive.
Their investigation did not identify Crooks’ political affiliation.
According to Fox, Crooks had two cell phones: a primary phone that was found close to his body and a secondary phone that was at his home and had just 27 contacts. Crooks was shot just seconds after firing at the former president.
As word spread that Crooks started shooting at the former president 20 minutes after Secret Service snipers first noticed him positioned on a roof with a gun, details of his search history were made public.
