The family of the 20-year-old who came close to killing Trump was profiled in a database compiled by the former president's 2016 campaign.
The father of the 20-year-old man who came close to killing Donald Trump at the weekend was reportedly profiled by the former president's 2016 campaign.Authorities identified Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the gunman who opened fire from a nearby rooftop as Trump spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
However, individuals were given scores derived from models that were not necessarily accurate and may not have reflected people's actual views or gun ownership at the time.Crooks' father is registered to vote as a Libertarian, while his mother is registered as a Democrat, according to CNN. Both are social workers.The FBI said it's investigating the shooting as a potential act of domestic terrorism and believe Crooks acted alone.
