The man who fired multiple shots during a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday, hitting former President Donald Trump in the ear and killing one of the attendees, was not affiliated with any branch of the U.S. military, according to a Pentagon spokesperson.
Department of Defense (DOD) deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters at a July 15 press conference that there was no enlistment record for the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was shot dead by a sniper after firing his AR-style rifle at the former president.
