Assassin Who Fired at Trump Had Two Explosives in His Car

By Reporter 3

 

Law enforcement agents have discovered explosives in the car driven by the 20-year-old man who attempted to assassinate ex-President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, according to multiple reports published Sunday, July 14, 2024.

The discovery was reportedly made as law enforcement continued its investigation into Saturday’s shooting where the former President sustained minor injury, killed one spectator, and critically injured two others. Investigators found two explosives devices in Thomas Matthew Crooks’ vehicle, and a potential third bomb at his home, the New York Times reported. Other news outlets also reported on the discoveries.

Crooks was shot by a Secret Service agent after he opened fire from what the agency said was an elevated position outside of the Butler, Pennsylvania field where Trump was addressing his supporters ahead of November’s national election. The FBI on Saturday identified Crooks as the suspected shooter.

Trump’s spokesperson Steven Cheung said the former president “is fine” after the shooting.

The shooter reportedly used an AR-15-style rifle, a weapon repeatedly used in mass shootings.
