Rally shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was a member of the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club in Pennsylvania, which has a rifle range of 200 yards, according to the club’s attorney.
Attorney Robert Bootay confirmed Crooks was a member but said the club “is unable to make any additional commentary in relation to this matter in light of pending law enforcement investigations.”
“Obviously, the Club fully admonishes the senseless act of violence that occurred yesterday. The Club also offers its sincerest condolences to the Comperatore family and extends prayers to all of those injured including the former President,” he said in a statement to CNN.
Bootay did not provide any further information about the last time that Crooks visited the club or whether he used the rifle range.
Clairton is 11 miles east of Bethel Park, where Crooks lived.
CNN has reached out to officers of the club for further comment.
