The shooter, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, had no publicly known affiliations that explain his actions. Authorities are still investigating his background and any potential ideological influences.
Several conservative sources provide more details about the incident:
Investigation and Evidence: The FBI is treating the incident as an act of domestic terrorism but has not yet identified a specific ideology associated with Crooks. They retrieved his gun and cell phone, which are crucial for building a timeline of his activities leading up to the shooting. Additionally, explosives were found in Crooks' vehicle parked near the rally site (WCBE) (Conservative Research Group).
