The gunman who attempted to shoot and kill former US President Donald Trump was a 20-year-old registered Republican who had previously made a small contribution to a Democratic-affiliated group, CNN reports. 

Thomas Matthew Crooks lived in the Pittsburgh suburb of Bethel Park, about 35 miles south of where Trump's rally took place.

Authorities say he fired several shots from the roof of a building outside the rally before being killed by Secret Service agents.

The 20-year-old graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022, according to a local media report.

Crooks' father, Matthew Crooks, said he was trying to figure out what was going on and was waiting to talk to law enforcement about his son. 

"He had no identification on his body, so agents had to run his DNA and get biometric confirmation," Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI's Pittsburgh field office, said in a statement. press conference Saturday night. 

Trump was injured in his right ear, but his state of health appears to be good. Meanwhile, a supporter of the former president was killed by gunfire and two others were seriously injured./ CNA
