The FBI identified the shooter, who is dead, as Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. A motive was not clear.

Bethel Park is a predominantly white, relatively well-to-do city in the southern reaches of greater Pittsburgh. The site of the rally, Butler, is about an hour’s drive north of Pittsburgh.

Pennsylvania voter records listed a Thomas Matthew Crooks with the same address and birth date as a registered Republican, though it was not clear from the records when that was put in place.

He was registered back in 2021. Not sure this has much bearing on the 2024 primaries. He could have been a right leaning person who didn't like Trump. Those people exist. Basically, most libertarians.

Those people exist

can confirm; am a small government fiscal conservative who thinks gays are people.
