Would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ parents contacted law enforcement Saturday hours before he opened fire on former President Donald Trump.
Thomas Matthew Crooks’ parents contacted law enforcement Saturday hours before he opened fire on former President Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, a source told Fox News.
The aspiring assassin’s mother and father told local police that Crooks was missing and that they were concerned about his welfare, the source said.
It remained unclear if they knew that he was in possession of an AR-15 rifle that belonged to his father.
Police have not said what actions they took after being contacted.
Crooks’ parents are cooperating with FBI investigators as the agency tries to specify a motive for the shooting that injured Trump and killed rally attendee Corey Comperatore.
