Member topic: Did you all watch news coverage on Trump shooting?

It is weird to see what is happening in America.
Trump is getting targeted and a 20 year old was the shooter.

What is this country coming to?

What do you think?

Authorities have not yet identified a motive behind the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.

The shooter was 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, a registered Republican.

The investigation is ongoing, and the FBI has been searching Crooks's home and online presence.

The motives, opinions, affiliations and potential allies of the 20-year-old gunman responsible for the assassination attempt on Donald Trump remain unknown, authorities say.

Two others were also critically injured in the incident but remain in a stable condition.

Crooks carried out the attack from a rooftop of a nearby building and was killed by Secret Service snipers shortly after he opened fire.

Investigators have since found materials for explosive devices in his car and potentially at his residence in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.

They have not, according to authorities, found any kind of manifesto or motivation for the attack.

Crooks was not under FBI surveillance or investigation prior to the attack.

The criminal's main motive is yet to be established.

Not surprising , It’s common in US since Abraham Lincoln times .

New bodycam footage from the Pennsylvania rally where Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt has revealed that Thomas Matthew Crooks, who opened fire on the former US President, was identified as a suspicious individual before the incident unfolded.

The footage, obtained from the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit and released on X by Republican and Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, shows local police officers and a man appearing to be a Secret Service agent, discussing how the 20-year-old would-be assassin was spotted at the site hours before he attempted to kill Trump.

"So, this is the guy," the Secret Service agent says as the law enforcement officials stand near the lifeless body of Thomas Crooks with a visible blood trail.

The agent is heard telling a Beaver County Emergency Service Unit officer that Thomas Crooks appeared to be the suspicious person who was previously reported to them.

"This is him," the police officer responds to the agent.

He also informs the federal agent that a police sniper took photos of Thomas Crooks, including of him riding a bicycle, as seen in the bodycam footage.

"That's the sniper that sent the original picture and seen him come from the bike and set the book bag down and then lost sight of him," the Beaver County officer tells the Secret Service agent.

They then scroll through pictures of Thomas Crooks taken earlier on a phone.
