The attendee who died was Corey Comperatore, Pennsylvania’s governor said. The shooter, who was killed, was ID’d by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
FBI special agent Kevin Rojek, who leads Pittsburgh’s FBI office, said investigators have not identified any specific motive Thomas Matthew Crooks may have had in firing shots from a high-powered weapon at former president Donald Trump on Saturday night and do not believe he had any accomplices. “At this time, the information that we have indicates that the shooter acted alone and that there are currently no public safety concerns,” Rojek said in a telephone briefing.
During a search of a vehicle used by the gunman, Rojek said, “we located a suspicious device, which was inspected by bomb technicians. We have seized the device, rendered it safe and we are also in the process of analyzing that further.” Rojek said investigators have not found any indications of mental health issues in the shooter’s life or behavior. He also said that they have yet to find any threatening statements made by the gunman. “As of right now, we have not seen any,” Rojek said.
