Despite its current virality on X, this is not the gunman. X user x/ jewgazing appears to have made a shit post about being the suspect and it took off.
While their account is currently private, tweets I was able to see show they are clearly in on the meme.

🇺🇸 UPDATE: A local police officer confronted gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks on the roof of the building just moments before he opened fire on the #Trump rally in Butler, #Pennsylvania according to law enforcement officials that spoke to AP. @AtlasNewsTelegram
WSJ further reported explosive materials were found in the shooters car.
“One local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump,” AP reported.
Crooks was the shot and killed by Secret Service counter snipers approximately 10 seconds after he first opened fire.
This comes as witnesses previously told BBC and CBS that Crooks was spotted climbing onto the roof of a building outside the rally fairgrounds and attempts were made to warn law enforcement for several minutes before the shooting happened. #UnitedStates

President #Biden will address the nation at 8pm Eastern Time. @AtlasNewsTelegram
This came after the #UnitedStates president called for the country to unite in brief remarks before the address tonight. He asked for people not to make assumptions about the #Trump rally shooter's motive and said he directed security measure increases for the RNC in Milwaukee, which will start on Monday.
"An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation.” he said on Sunday “It’s not who we are as a nation. It’s not American. And we cannot allow this to happen,” Biden continued “Unity is the most elusive goal of all, but nothing is more important than that right now.”
He also said he spoke to the former president and that they had a “short but good conversation," adding that he was grateful Trump was recovering. President Joe Biden said that he and the first lady, Jill Biden, were praying for the audience member killed by the shooter. “He was a father,” Biden said. “He was protecting his family from the bullets were being fired. God love him.”
Following Biden's remarks on the shooting Saturday, Trump posted “UNITE AMERICA!” on Truth Social.
“In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win,” Trump wrote on Sunday. “I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.” Trump will be attending the Republic National Convention there.

🇰🇵 🇺🇸 ☢️ 🇰🇷 #NorthKorea has issued a stark warning to #SouthKorea and the #UnitedStates, condemning the newly signed joint #nuclear deterrence guidelines as a “reckless provocative act.” The official Korean Central News Agency published a statement from a defense ministry spokesperson, warning that the allies will face “an unimaginably harsh price” if they commit further provocations. @AtlasNewsTelegram
The condemnation follows the adoption of the “Guidelines for Nuclear Deterrence and Nuclear Operations on the Korean Peninsula” by South Korea and the United States in Washington, D.C., on Thursday. This document aims to significantly expand the deployment of U.S. strategic assets on the Korean Peninsula during both wartime and peacetime.
“The DPRK Ministry of National Defence strongly denounces and rejects the reckless provocative act of the U.S. and the ROK (Republic of Korea) that pushes the regional military tensions to extremes through extremely incendiary and malicious rhetoric and provocative action,” the spokesperson declared.
The North Korean official further stated that the allies’ “provocative behavior” is the “root cause of endangering regional security” and necessitates North Korea to “further improve its nuclear deterrent readiness and add important elements to the composition of the deterrent.” The spokesperson warned against committing further acts of provocation, cautioning that ignoring this warning would result in “an unimaginably harsh price.”
In contrast, South Korea’s ruling People Power Party (PPP) praised the joint nuclear deterrence guidelines, describing them as a strong deterrent against North Korea’s provocations. PPP spokesperson Ho Jun-seok highlighted the restored mutual trust between South Korea and the United States under the Yoon Suk Yeol administration, which he claimed has become a potent deterrent against North Korea’s reckless actions.

🇺🇸 Compiled videos from yesterday’s attempted assassination of former #UnitedStates president Donald Trump to showcase the moments leading up to and during the shooting, as well as highlight key areas from the rally. Via theatlasnews.co @AtlasNewsTelegram
The first video you will see is of the first Secret Service counter-sniper team (CST), located on the left barn. It then shows the second CST on the right barn and footage from attendees warning of the gunman, located at the speaker set up to the left of the grandstands. The footage then shows the shooting from multiple angles and ends with showing hydraulic fluid spraying from a tractor that was hit by the gunfire.
All of the locations shown on the two images.

🇺🇸 Full Geolocation Analysis of #Trump Assassination Attempt: https://theatlasnews.co/analysis/2024/07/14/full-geolocation-analysis-of-trump-assassination-attempt/
On July 13, gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on a Trump rally in Butler, PA, from an elevated vantage point in an attempted assassination of the former #UnitedStates president. @AtlasNewsTelegram
The shooting killed a rally attendee, identified as retired fire chief Corey Comperatore, and critically wounded two more. Trump was grazed by a bullet on his right ear and evacuated from the area.
Crooks was killed by counter-snipers approximately 10 seconds after first opening fire.
The venue of the rally was located at the Butler Farm Show grounds in Butler, #Pennsylvania (Geo: 40.856, -79.9708).
Crooks positioned himself on the southern most building of AGR International Inc., which is located some 150 yards directly north of the rally venue (Geo: 40.8582743, -79.9708108).
Witnesses told BBC and NBC that they witnessed Crooks climb onto the roof and attempted to alert nearby authorities several minutes before the shooting took place.
Law enforcement officials have told AP that a local police officer attempted to confront Crooks, reporting that “One local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump.”
Crooks fired a total of eight shots, which grazed Trump, who was speaking at the center podium, critically wounded two attendees, and killed Comperatore, who has been hailed as a hero for shielding his family from the gunfire.
Gunfire also struck a tractor/crane that was located next to the furthest grandstand. The bullet impact severed a hydraulic line, causing hydraulic fluid to spray out onto other rallygoers (Geo: 40.8567427, -79.9709174)
At least three counter-sniper teams (CST) were present at the fairgrounds at the time of the shooting. Crooks was killed by a single bullet to the head approximately 10 seconds after first opening fire.

🇺🇸 #NEW Police Team Tasked with Covering Roof was Inside Building During #Trump Rally Shooting: https://theatlasnews.co/latest/2024/07/15/police-team-tasked-with-covering-roof-was-inside-building-during-trump-rally-shooting/
#UnitedStates law enforcement sources familiar with the incident, speaking on condition of anonymity, have told Atlas News that local police snipers were responsible for covering the roof of AGR International, which is where gunman Thomas Crooks was positioned when he opened fire on the Trump rally, but was inside the building when the shooting began. @AtlasNewsTelegram
Channel 11, citing multiple LEO sources, reported that a Beaver County ESU team “noticed a suspicious man [crooks] on a roof near the rally at 5:45p.m., called it in, and took a picture of the person,” which was nearly 30 minutes before shots were first fired. A separate law enforcement officer also reportedly took a picture and called in a report on the gunman before 5:45p.m.

🇲🇱 🇷🇺 #Wagner Enters the #Tuareg’s Existential War in #Mali: https://theatlasnews.co/latest/2024/07/14/wagner-enters-the-tuaregs-existential-war-in-mali/
At least 23 Tuareg civilians have been killed by elements of the Malian army (FAMA) and Wagner forces in Mali’s Kidal region in four days, between July 9th and 12th. According to a statement from the Permanent Strategic Framework for the Defense of the People of Azawad (CSP-DPA), seven civilians and one member of the Malian armed forces who was on leave were killed in the village of Takalote, while another five men were killed in the northeastern commune of Tin-Essako and buried in a mass grave. “Following this horrible mission, more than 10 unarmed civilians were executed,” the statement said. @AtlasNewsTelegram
After the attack on Takalote across July 9-12th, Wagner forces moved into Tin-Essako, where the bodies of five civilians, Ebagraz Ag Mahamad (69 years), Mohamed Ag Attiyoub (23 years), Mossa Ag Attiyoub (12 years), Mossa Ag Bakila (40 years), and Mahmoud Ag Zaydoune (35 years), were found in a mass grave.
In the aftermath of the attack and according to local reports, a well in Innoufassan, which is believed to be near Tin-Essako, was poisoned as the villagers fled.
“Cows were slaughtered and their carcasses trapped,” said the CSP-DPA, with the head of a slaughtered cow found buried and rigged with explosives.
It is alleged that at least 10 unarmed civilians were killed as FAMA and Wagner forces departed Tin-Essako.
Attacks against Tuaregs have increased in the country in recent weeks, with a series of drone strikes conducted on Tin-Essako on June 19th. The increased attacks signal the beginning of a counter-offensive against the Tuareg rebels, with which the Malian government under Assimi Goita terminated a 2015 peace agreement in late January.
In response, Inkinane Ag Attaher, Commander of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA)—who made serious gains against the Malian army in 2012—posted images of multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs), stating, “Wagner traps in Azawad.”
Azawad, roughly translating to ‘the land of transhumance,’ in reference to the nomadic lifestyles of the Tuareg people, is an imagined state found in northern Mali, where the country’s Tuaregs reside.
