"Timeline of Events Leading to Trump Rally Assassination Attempt"
TL;DR Summary
Investigators are piecing together the actions of Thomas Matthew Crooks in the 24 hours before he attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a rally. Crooks visited a shooting range, bought ammunition, and purchased a ladder before driving to the rally site. He fired shots from a rooftop, grazing Trump and killing one rallygoer before being killed by the Secret Service. Despite finding an explosive device and a transmitter, investigators are still unclear about Crooks' motive, as he was described as quiet and not particularly political.
