The perpetrator of the attack on Donald Trump has been identified. The FBI confirmed and reported that the attacker is Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. It was conveyed that the investigation is ongoing, and they also requested that anyone with information that may assist in the investigation contact the authorities.

It was reported that the shooter did not have any documents on him, which further slowed down the process.

Contradictory reports regarding the perpetrator's appearance

Unverified photos of the perpetrator began to appear in the media. Currently, American media officially states that the shooter is 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.

Media reports indicate that the attacker was shooting with an AR-15. The motive is still unknown.
