Investigators are still searching for clues as to why Crooks climbed on top of a roof and opened fire on Trump with his father’s AR-style rifle.

Thomas' parents called police several hours before the shooting, but it is unclear why.

Katie's father, Matthew Brian Crooks, was physically incapable of assisting with a move of Katie's belongings, so Thomas helped her instead.
