Suspected rally gunman was member of local shooting club
The man suspected of taking aim at former President Donald Trump Saturday night was a member of a local shooting club, counsel for the club confirms to ABC News.
Thomas Crooks belonged to Clairton Sportsmen's Club, in Clairton, Pennsylvania, roughly 12 miles south of Pittsburgh, which has a variety of shooting ranges.
"I can confirm that Mr. Crooks was a member of Clairton Sportsmen's Club," Robert S. Bootay III, attorney for the club, said in a statement.
"Beyond that, the Club is unable to make any additional commentary in relation to this matter in light of pending law enforcement investigations," Bootay continued.
"Obviously, the Club fully admonishes the senseless act of violence that occurred yesterday. The Club also offers its sincerest condolences to the Comperatore family and extends prayers to all of those injured including the former President," he said.
