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 AR15 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.

The source also said that Crooks recently purchased ammunition both online and inperson. https://abc7.com/liveupdates/donald...
