US law enforcement sources have reportedly revealed that the gunman who shot at former President Donald Trump in an assassination attempt on Saturday had explosive material inside his car and in his residence.

Multiple sources made the revelation to CNN on Sunday as the FBI and the Secret Service commenced investigation into the attack on the former President and Republican presidential nominee in the country’s 2024 presidential election.

A gunman identified by the FBI as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, on Saturday attempted to assassinate Trump during his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The gunman from the rooftop fired some gunshots which injured Trump in one ear before he (the shooter) was shot dead by the Secret Service.

CNN reports that law enforcement sources said that authorities used the gun recovered from the shooter to help determine his identity as he did not have identification on him.

A person familiar with the investigation reportedly said that the gun used in the shooting was an AR-style weapon.

Lezzlie:
Democrats/Liberals are finding this very embarrassing.


These demented demonic radicals even called the assassination attempt staged.


You will begin to understand why they see nothing wrong in a man marrying another man and call him wife. There's no difference between liberals and islamic terrorists.

Mind you, the would-be assassin deliberately registered as a Republican to detract motive while all his donations and money to the Democrats

Flame333:
Thank God, he wasn't a Democrat..

Poor guy couldn't rid himself off the mess brought upon him by Trump administration.. If not, why this act..

Imagine say Buhari wanted to extend his stay then... Hmmm

JASONjnr:
And they claim this was staged?


Well..... Nobody will pay a sniper to shoot at him, when you don't even know if the sniper is your real-time enemy.

And telling us that they secret agents needed to arrest the sniper rather than killing him is childish... You can't even arrest a man with a gun who had shot at a presidential candidate.

Also, the guy who said he was waving at the SSS guys to go after the sniper guy 50feets away was literally talking nonsense.
