Trump shooting 'target of opportunity'

The FBI has revealed that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, perceived the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, as a 'target of opportunity.' Despite extensive investigations, including nearly 1,000 interviews and analysis of Crooks' online activity, officials have yet to determine a clear motive for his actions. Crooks conducted numerous searches related to both Trump and President Biden, as well as alarming inquiries about explosives and rally locations. FBI officials confirmed that there was no evidence of a second shooter or any conspiracy with others. They stated that Crooks acted alone and did not receive direction from foreign entities. The investigation continues as officials seek to understand the motivations behind his attack.
