FBI Director Wray shares information about Trump rally shooter with congressional committee

Thanks to congressional testimony on Wednesday from FBI Director Christopher Wray, more information has been revealed about the would-be assassin who attempted to kill former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13.

That includes the revelations that Thomas Crooks, 20, did online research about assassinations and conducted aerial surveillance of the rally site with a drone, that he had prepared some explosives that weren’t used, and that he had access to multiple firearms owned by his father, according to the Daily Mail.

There remains plenty that is still unknown, however, such as what the shooter’s motivation was, whether he had any assistance in his deadly actions, or how he was able to pull off the shooting from an elevated position despite the security measures of the U.S. Secret Service and local law enforcement.
