Trump rally shooting suspect used father’s AR-15 in assassination attempt, officials say

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspect in Saturday's assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump, would occasionally go target shooting and use his father's AR-15 style rifle -- and on the day of the shooting, the shooter told his father that he wanted to go to the range, so his dad let him have the gun, a source familiar with the matter told ABC News. Since this wasn't an unusual occurrence, the father didn't think anything of it at the time, the source said. #ABC7 #breakingnews #newsupdate #newsalert #headlines #SoCalNews #LAlocalnews #southerncalifornia #losangelesnews #liveupdates #abc #eyewitness #mrsdcamerica #dmvpageants #dcpageant #cnn #news #foxla
