According to the FBI, the gunman, Thomas Crooks, initially considered multiple targets but ultimately chose former President Trump's Pennsylvania rally as his attack opportunity.
The investigation has not revealed any identifiable motive or ideology for Crooks, nor any co-conspirators or foreign connections in his plot against Trump.
FBI's Kevin Rojek noted Crooks engaged in thorough online research regarding Trump’s events, especially after the rally was announced in July, showing a focused intent.
Crooks searched for details about the Pennsylvania rally before the event, indicating a premeditated effort to target Donald Trump specifically during the campaign.
