This is the best summary I could come up with:
It follows another stunning development that the 20-year-old gunman was at the former president's rally three hours before opening fire and sparked the suspicions of the Secret Service because he was carrying a rangefinder used by hunters to take long shots.
His father told law enforcement he assumed his son had gone to the shooting range at the The Clairton Sportsmen's Club to practice with his rifle and would be back by 1pm on Saturday, CNN reported.
The Clairton Sportsmen's Club where Crooks' father believed him to be heading around 1 pm states on its web site that its high-power rifle range 'has 10 firing benches with targets at 50, 100 and 187 yards.'
The FBI said they were investigating it as a potential act of domestic terrorism but the absence of a clear ideological motive by the man shot dead by the Secret Service led conspiracy theories to flourish.
'We are shocked and saddened to learn of his involvement as Thomas Matthew Crooks performed his job without concern and his background check was clean,' administrator Marcie Grimm said in a statement.
A neighbor of Crooks' sister Katie said her brother helped her move into her nearby apartment three years ago, describing her as a 'hardworking' woman who worked as a janitor at a local high school and as a server at a restaurant.
