Attack on Donald Trump: The killer's motive and security failings

The young guy who shot the former president, Thomas Matthew Crooks, has left no trace of his intentions. The organization in charge of defending dignitaries and heads of state, the Secret Service, is already under fire for its role in the attack.

The guardians? Democratic mother, libertarian father. The family of Thomas Matthew Crooks resides in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, a comparatively wealthy suburb close to Pittsburgh. The AR-15 that his son shot Donald Trump with on July 13, 43 miles from the Butler family home, belonged to the father, a mental health facility counselor. Whether the 20-year-old male had authorization to borrow the gun is still unknown to investigators.

School? Thomas Matthew Crooks was a lonely high school student, and it was obvious that it had failed to integrate him. Many of his old classmates claimed that he was harassed by a gang of pupils on a regular basis. He studied hard and earned decent grades. He was one of twenty students to receive a math and science prize of $500, or 460 euros, at the completion of high school in 2022. He wears half-rimmed glasses in the yearbook, the yearbook for the end of the year. According to Summer Barkley, a former classmate, he had a strong interest in history. A high school student cited by ABC News described the adolescent as “quiet,” “solitary,” and “reserved.” To date, investigators have not discovered any evidence of him on Instagram or Facebook.

Following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, questions remain regarding the motivation for the attack on the former president by a 20-year-old man. He acted alone, as he typically did, according to Kevin Rojek, the FBI’s Pittsburgh office’s head of investigation.

Police claim that no political motive has been proven at this time. Republican voter registration was held by Thomas Crooks. Following his inauguration in 2021, Joe Biden gave $15 through the ActBlue platform to the Progressive Turnout Project, a foundation that promotes voter turnout and provides funding to Democratic candidates. He had just received his engineering degree from Allegheny County Community College. He had obtained a job as a chef at a Bethel Park assisted living facility. Before employing him, the nursing home checked his background.

Following the failed attempt on Donald Trump’s life, there are many worries and unanswered issues regarding how a sniper managed to get rooftop access only 150 meters away from the former president’s platform location during an outdoor rally.

According to sources, Trump’s platform is at “three o’clock” in the firing, and gunshots are coming from his right side. Shortly after gunshots were heard, the suspect, who was discovered on a roof, was shot by Secret Service counter-assault snipers.

Interestingly, the gunman was outside the security perimeter, which begs the issues of how big the perimeter was, how well it was swept and secured the American Glass Research facility, and how the gunman was able to get access to the rooftop.

On Sunday, US Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle was given instructions by President Joe Biden “to review all security measures – all security measures – for the Republican National Convention.”

“To determine exactly what transpired at yesterday’s rally, I have ordered an independent examination of the national security aspects of the event. And I’ll let the American people know what that independent review’s findings are,” Biden declared.

According to law enforcement sources, part of the fallout will involve an examination of whether the Secret Service had sufficient resources to shield Trump a few days before he formally announced his candidacy as the Republican nominee for president and whether protocols were observed to carry out security checks of the structure that provided a shooting position for the suspected shooter.

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe stated on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday morning that “fundamentally, one of the most basic elements of site security, especially a site that’s outside and largely uncontrolled, is (to) eliminate sight lines to this space where the protectee will be either speaking or just occupying.” “That map so obviously indicates the buildings that are within it, plainly within shooting range.”

The FBI is currently in charge of the assassination attempt investigation.

It’s still unclear how the gunman was able to enter a building so near to the rooftop and why it wasn’t included in the “hard” security cordon. The primary organization looking into the attempted assassination is currently the FBI. However, Congress, the USSS, and the Department of Homeland Security will need to investigate the security lapse issue.

Moments before the attempted murder, a witness reportedly informed police that he saw a gunman traveling “from roof to roof,” according Pittsburgh CNN affiliate KDKA.

Ben Macer witnessed “the guy move from roof to roof” when he was standing along a fence line. According to KDKA, “(I) told an officer (the alleged shooter) was on the roof.” “The gunfire started as I turned to go back to where I was, and after that it was just chaos, and we all fled,” the speaker said.

Reporters have also been told by witnesses that they observed an individual who appeared to be the shooter carrying a firearm outside the rally’s security perimeter prior to the shooting.
