Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin, logged dozens of visits to a local sportsman’s club for rifle practice before shooting Trump and three other people at a July 13 rally in Butler County, according to records provided Thursday to the media by U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
The information released by Grassley showed that Crooks visited a rifle range the day before he opened fire at the Butler Farm Show grounds, striking the former president in the ear, killing rally-goer Corey Comperatore and seriously wounding two others.
Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, made frequent visits to Clairton Sportsman’s Club to practice his shooting, including on some holidays.
Crooks became a member of the club — which spans 180 acres in West Mifflin and Jefferson Hills and boasts more than 2,000 members — on Aug. 10, 2023, according to the records from Grassley’s office.
The club has several rifle ranges, including at least one that is 200 yards. Investigators have said Crooks fired an AR-style rifle at the former president from the roof of a building less than 150 yards from Trump’s stage.
Crooks signed in for target practice 20 times within the first four months of his membership, the documents showed, and averaged three to six practices per month this year.
In total, Crooks signed in at the range 43 times.
Grassley’s office described Crooks’ visits as “intense preparation in the months prior to his attempted assassination of the former president.”
Crooks spent about 80% of his time at the gun club on rifle practice, according to the records.
Attendance logs show Crooks never brought a guest with him to the range, even when he spent holidays there. He logged time at the range on Valentine’s Day this year, and on Christmas and Halloween last year.
Crooks’ last visit to the gun range was logged at 2:45 p.m. on Friday, July 12 — the day before the rally, where he was fatally shot by a Secret Service sniper.
